Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.
Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...
* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.
[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

plat-omap/mailbox, floppy, viocd, mspro_block, i2o_block and
mmc/card/queue are already pretty close to dequeueing model and can be
converted with simple changes. Convert them.
While at it,
* xen-blkfront: !fs check moved downwards to share dequeue call with
normal path.
* mspro_block: __blk_end_request(..., blk_rq_cur_byte()) converted to
__blk_end_request_cur()
* mmc/card/queue: loop of __blk_end_request() converted to
__blk_end_request_all()
[ Impact: dequeue in-flight request ]

omap mailbox uses rq->data as the second opaque pointer to carry
mbox_msg_t and rq->special message argument which is needed only for
tx. Add and use omap_msg_tx_data struct for tx and use rq->special
for mbox_msg_t for rx such that only rq->special is used as opaque
pointer.
[ Impact: cleanup rq->data usage, extra kmalloc in msg_send ]

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure
that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
value, which is awkward and error-prone.
This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.
Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.
* cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct
calls to blk_end_request_all().

Since "mbox->dev" doesn't exist and isn't created either at
registration, this patch will create "struct device", which belongs to
"omap-mailbox" class and set this pointer for the member of
"struct omap_mbox".

This patch converts arm's OMAP mailbox driver to use
blk_end_request interfaces.
If the original code was converted literally, blk_end_request would
be called with '-EIO' because end_that_request_last() were called
with '0' (i.e. failure).
But I think these '0's are bugs in the original code because it's
unlikely that all requests are treated as failure.
(The bugs should have no effect unless these requests have an end_io
callback.)
So I changed them to pass '0' (i.e. success) to blk_end_request.

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of

the proper type.
