Updated maintainers list from Ingo's last ping,
various changed email addresses in code headers.

syscall latency improvement
* There's now an asm/thread_info.h header file with the basic structure
def and asm offsets in it.
* There's now a linux/thread_info.h header file which includes the asm
version and wraps some bitops calls to make convenience functions for
accessing the low-level flags.
* The task_struct has had some fields removed (and some flags), and has
acquired a pointer to the thread_info struct.
* task_struct's are now allocated on slabs in kernel/fork.c, whereas
thread_info structs are allocated at the bottom of the stack pages.
* Some more convenience functions are provided at the end of linux/sched.h to
access flags in other tasks (these are here because they need to access the
task_struct).
