This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of
either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export
a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper
(bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask
for completion on that specific CPU.
In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much
as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired.
This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only
work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp
helper infrastructure.

Implement {disk|part}_to_dev() and use them to access generic device
instead of directly dereferencing {disk|part}->dev. To make sure no
user is left behind, rename generic devices fields to __dev.
This is in preparation of unifying partition 0 handling with other
partitions.

Concurrency isn't a big deal here since we have requests in flight
at this point, but do the locked variant to set a better example.

The block I/O + elevator + I/O scheduler code spend a lot of time trying
to merge I/Os -- rightfully so under "normal" circumstances. However,
if one were to know that the incoming I/O stream was /very/ random in
nature, the cycles are wasted.
This patch adds a per-request_queue tunable that (when set) disables
merge attempts (beyond the simple one-hit cache check), thus freeing up
a non-trivial amount of CPU cycles.

blk_register_queue() returns -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL. But there
are some block drivers that call blk_register_queue() via add_disk() with
queue->request_fn == NULL. (For example, brd, loop)
Although no one checks return value of blk_register_queue(), this patch makes
it return 0 instead of -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL,
Also this patch adds warning when blk_register_queue() and
blk_unregister_queue() are called with queue == NULL rather than ignore
invalid usage silently.
