Add 'fallthrough' pseudo-keyword to enable the removal of comments
like '/* fallthrough */'.

I applied patches 1-3 to my tree just to make it easier for people to
start doing this. Maybe some people want to do the conversion on their
own subsystem rather than with a global script, but even if not, this
looks better as a "prepare for the future" series and I feel that if
we're doing the "fallthrough" thing eventually, the sooner we do the
prepwork the better.

I'm a tiny bit worried that the actual conversion is just going to
cause lots of pain for the stable people, but I'll not worry about it
_too_ much. If the stable people decide that it's too painful for them
to deal with the comment vs keyword model, they may want to backport
these three patches too.

I was waiting for a v2 series to pick it up given we had some pending changes...

Hmpf, looks like it's in torvalds/master now. Miguel, most of the changes
were related to the commit log, IIRC, so that ship has sailed. :( Can the
stuff in Documentation/ be improved with a follow-up patch, perhaps?

Linus seems to have applied some of the improvements to the commit
messages, but not those to the content (not sure why, since they were
also easy ones). But no worries, we will do those later :)

Cheers,
Miguel
