[LIB]: Textsearch infrastructure.
The textsearch infrastructure provides text searching facitilies for both linear and non-linear data. Individual search algorithms are implemented in modules and chosen by the user. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
