Changes persistant -> persistent. www.dictionary.com does not know
persistant (with an A), but should it be one of those things you can
spell in more than one correct way, let me know.

*
* INTRODUCTION
*
* 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.
*
* ARCHITECTURE
*
* User
* +----------------+
* | finish()|<--------------(6)-----------------+
* |get_next_block()|<--------------(5)---------------+ |
* | | Algorithm | |
* | | +------------------------------+
* | | | init() find() destroy() |
* | | +------------------------------+
* | | Core API ^ ^ ^
* | | +---------------+ (2) (4) (8)
* | (1)|----->| prepare() |---+ | |
* | (3)|----->| find()/next() |-----------+ |
* | (7)|----->| destroy() |----------------------+
* +----------------+ +---------------+
*
* (1) User configures a search by calling _prepare() specifying the
* search parameters such as the pattern and algorithm name.
* (2) Core requests the algorithm to allocate and initialize a search
* configuration according to the specified parameters.
* (3) User starts the search(es) by calling _find() or _next() to
* fetch subsequent occurrences. A state variable is provided
* to the algorihtm to store persistent variables.
* (4) Core eventually resets the search offset and forwards the find()
* request to the algorithm.
* (5) Algorithm calls get_next_block() provided by the user continously
* to fetch the data to be searched in block by block.
* (6) Algorithm invokes finish() after the last call to get_next_block
* to clean up any leftovers from get_next_block. (Optional)
* (7) User destroys the configuration by calling _destroy().
* (8) Core notifies the algorithm to destroy algorithm specific
* allocations. (Optional)
*
* USAGE
*
* Before a search can be performed, a configuration must be created
* by calling textsearch_prepare() specyfing the searching algorithm and
* the pattern to look for. The returned configuration may then be used
* for an arbitary amount of times and even in parallel as long as a
* separate struct ts_state variable is provided to every instance.
*
* The actual search is performed by either calling textsearch_find_-
* continuous() for linear data or by providing an own get_next_block()
* implementation and calling textsearch_find(). Both functions return
* the position of the first occurrence of the patern or UINT_MAX if
* no match was found. Subsequent occurences can be found by calling
* textsearch_next() regardless of the linearity of the data.
*
* Once you're done using a configuration it must be given back via
* textsearch_destroy.
*
* EXAMPLE
*
* int pos;
* struct ts_config *conf;
* struct ts_state state;
* const char *pattern = "chicken";
* const char *example = "We dance the funky chicken";
*
* conf = textsearch_prepare("kmp", pattern, strlen(pattern),
* GFP_KERNEL, TS_AUTOLOAD);
* if (IS_ERR(conf)) {
* err = PTR_ERR(conf);
* goto errout;
* }
*
* pos = textsearch_find_continuous(conf, &state, example, strlen(example));
* if (pos != UINT_MAX)
* panic("Oh my god, dancing chickens at %d\n", pos);
*
* textsearch_destroy(conf);
