[PATCH] 9p: fix name consistency problems

There were a number of conflicting naming schemes used in the v9fs project.
The directory was fs/9p, but MAINTAINERS and Documentation referred to
v9fs.  The module name itself was 9p2000, and the file system type was 9P.
This patch attempts to clean that up, changing all references to 9p in
order to match the directory name.  We'll also start using 9p instead of
v9fs as our patch prefix.

There is also a minor consistency cleanup in the options changing the name
option to uname in order to more closely match the Plan 9 options.

+			V9FS: 9P2000 for Linux
+			======================
+
+ABOUT
+=====
+
+v9fs is a Unix implementation of the Plan 9 9p remote filesystem protocol.
+
+This software was originally developed by Ron Minnich <rminnich@lanl.gov>
+and Maya Gokhale <maya@lanl.gov>.  Additional development by Greg Watson
+<gwatson@lanl.gov> and most recently Eric Van Hensbergen
+<ericvh@gmail.com> and Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net>.
+
+USAGE
+=====
+
+For remote file server:
+
+	mount -t 9P 10.10.1.2 /mnt/9
+
+For Plan 9 From User Space applications (http://swtch.com/plan9)
+
+	mount -t 9P `namespace`/acme /mnt/9 -o proto=unix,name=$USER
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+  proto=name	select an alternative transport.  Valid options are
+  		currently:
+ 			unix - specifying a named pipe mount point
+ 			tcp  - specifying a normal TCP/IP connection
+ 			fd   - used passed file descriptors for connection
+                                (see rfdno and wfdno)
+
+  name=name	user name to attempt mount as on the remote server.  The
+  		server may override or ignore this value.  Certain user
+		names may require authentication.
+
+  aname=name	aname specifies the file tree to access when the server is
+  		offering several exported file systems.
+
+  debug=n	specifies debug level.  The debug level is a bitmask.
+  			0x01 = display verbose error messages
+			0x02 = developer debug (DEBUG_CURRENT)
+			0x04 = display 9P trace
+			0x08 = display VFS trace
+			0x10 = display Marshalling debug
+			0x20 = display RPC debug
+			0x40 = display transport debug
+			0x80 = display allocation debug
+
+  rfdno=n	the file descriptor for reading with proto=fd
+
+  wfdno=n	the file descriptor for writing with proto=fd
+
+  maxdata=n	the number of bytes to use for 9P packet payload (msize)
+
+  port=n	port to connect to on the remote server
+
+  noextend	force legacy mode (no 9P2000.u semantics)
+
+  uid		attempt to mount as a particular uid
+
+  gid		attempt to mount with a particular gid
+
+  afid		security channel - used by Plan 9 authentication protocols
+
+  nodevmap	do not map special files - represent them as normal files.
+  		This can be used to share devices/named pipes/sockets between
+		hosts.  This functionality will be expanded in later versions.
+
+RESOURCES
+=========
+
+The Linux version of the 9P server is now maintained under the npfs project
+on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/npfs).
+
+There are user and developer mailing lists available through the v9fs project
+on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/v9fs).
+
+News and other information is maintained on SWiK (http://swik.net/v9fs).
+
+Bug reports may be issued through the kernel.org bugzilla 
+(http://bugzilla.kernel.org)
