[Xen-devel] [patch 03/44] usermodehelper: split setup from execution



Rather than having hundreds of variations of call_usermodehelper for
various pieces of usermode state which could be set up, split the
info allocation and initialization from the actual process execution.

This means the general pattern becomes:
 info = call_usermodehelper_setup(path, argv, envp); /* basic state */
 call_usermodehelper_<SET EXTRA STATE>(info, stuff...); /* extra state */
 call_usermodehelper_exec(info, wait);  /* run process and free info */

This patch introduces wrappers for all the existing calling styles for
call_usermodehelper_*, but folds their implementations into one.
