Move the bounce buffer code from mm/highmem.c to mm/bounce.c so that it can be
more easily disabled when the block layer is disabled.
!!!NOTE!!! There may be a bug in this code: Should init_emergency_pool() be
contingent on CONFIG_HIGHMEM?

Stop fallback_migrate_page() from using page_has_buffers() since that might not

Move some functions out of the buffering code that aren't strictly buffering
specific. This is a precursor to being able to disable the block layer.
(*) Moved some stuff out of fs/buffer.c:
(*) The file sync and general sync stuff moved to fs/sync.c.
(*) The superblock sync stuff moved to fs/super.c.
(*) do_invalidatepage() moved to mm/truncate.c.
(*) try_to_release_page() moved to mm/filemap.c.
(*) Moved some related declarations between header files:
(*) declarations for do_invalidatepage() and try_to_release_page() moved
to linux/mm.h.
(*) __set_page_dirty_buffers() moved to linux/buffer_head.h.

We don't need to disable irqs to clear current->io_context, it is protected
by ->alloc_lock. Even IF it was possible to submit I/O from IRQ on behalf of
current this irq_disable() can't help: current_io_context() will re-instantiate
->io_context after irq_enable().
We don't need task_lock() or local_irq_disable() to clear ioc->task. This can't
prevent other CPUs from playing with our io_context anyway.

It can make sense to set read-ahead larger than a single request.
We should not be enforcing such policy on the user. Additionally,
using the BLKRASET ioctl doesn't impose such a restriction. So
additionally we now expose identical behaviour through the two.

CFQ implements this on its own now, but it's really block layer
knowledge. Tells a device queue to start dispatching requests to
the driver, taking care to unplug if needed. Also fixes the issue
where as/cfq will invoke a stopped queue, which we really don't
want.

No point in having a place holder list just for empty queues, so remove

Currently it scales with number of processes in that priority group,
which is potentially not very nice as it's called quite often.
Basically we always need to do tail inserts, except for the case of a
new process. So just mark/detect a queue as such.

It's ok if the read path is a lot more costly, as long as inc/dec is
really cheap. The inc/dec will happen for each created/freed io context,
while the reading only happens when a disk queue exits.

None of the in-kernel primitives for handling "atomic" counting seem
to be a good fit. We need something that is essentially free for
incrementing/decrementing, while the read side may be more expensive
as we only ever need to do that when a device is removed from the
kernel.
Use a per-cpu variable for maintaining a per-cpu ioc count and define
a reading mechanism that just sums up the values.

cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now:
- The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts
- The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts
The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by
definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is.
The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only.
The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the
priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking
from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall
just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update
the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can
remove this locking as well.

A collection of little fixes and cleanups:
- We don't use the 'queued' sysfs exported attribute, since the
may_queue() logic was rewritten. So kill it.
- Remove dead defines.
- cfq_set_active_queue() can be rewritten cleaner with else if conditions.
- Several places had cfq_exit_cfqq() like logic, abstract that out and
use that.
- Annotate the cfqq kmem_cache_alloc() so the allocator knows that this
is a repeat allocation if it fails with __GFP_WAIT set. Allows the
allocator to start freeing some memory, if needed. CFQ already loops for
this condition, so might as well pass the hint down.
- Remove cfqd->rq_starved logic. It's not needed anymore after we dropped
the crq allocation in cfq_set_request().
- Remove uneeded parameter passing.

After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE
and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing
the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and
indicates use-after-free.
So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward.

The rbtree sort/lookup/reposition logic is mostly duplicated in
cfq/deadline/as, so move it to the elevator core. The io schedulers
still provide the actual rb root, as we don't want to impose any sort
of specific handling on the schedulers.
Introduce the helpers and rb_node in struct request to help migrate the
IO schedulers.

Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for
noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for
essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch
moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator
core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as
well. Win-win!

Right now ->flags is a bit of a mess: some are request types, and
others are just modifiers. Clean this up by splitting it into
->cmd_type and ->cmd_flags. This allows introduction of generic
Linux block message types, useful for sending generic Linux commands

Delay the call to adapter->client_register() until after we are
certain that the client registration is a success. At this point the
client is fully initialized and we no longer hold the adapter->clist
mutex, so this should prevent the deadlocks if the client_register()
callback needs to take that mutex too, as is the case for the bttv
driver.
This fixes bug #7234.
