Do a safer check for when to enable DMA. Currently we enable ISA DMA
for cases that do not need it, resulting in OOM conditions when ZONE_DMA
runs out of space.

A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

The queue lock can be taken from interrupts so it must always be taken with
irq disabling primitives. Some primitives already verify this.
blk_start_queue() is called under this lock, so interrupts must be
disabled.
Also document this requirement clearly in blk_init_queue(), where the queue
spinlock is set.

While executing barrrier sequence, the bar_rq which carries actual
write was accounted as normal IO on completion, while it wasn't on
queueing. This caused gendisk->in_flight to be decremented by 1 after
each barrier thus messed up statistics.
This patch makes bar_rq not accounted as normal IO. As the containing
barrier request as a whole is accounted, part of it shouldn't be.

Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met,
when the driver asks for a requeue. This is both silly from a logical
point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware
shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn
-> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun.
Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how
blk_start_queue() works.
This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit
any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.

Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __devinitdata in the
definition of notifier_block data structure. It is incorrect as the
data structure should be available after the initializations (they do
not unregister them during initializations).
This was leading to an oops when notifier_chain_register() call is
invoked for those callback chains after initialization.
This patch fixes all such usages to _not_ have the notifier_block data
structure in the init data section.

On setups with many disks, we spend a considerable amount of time

q->ordcolor must only be flipped on initial queueing of a hardbarrier
request.
Constructing ordered sequence and requeueing used to pass through
__elv_add_request() which flips q->ordcolor when it sees a barrier
request.
This patch separates out elv_insert() from __elv_add_request() and uses
elv_insert() when constructing ordered sequence and requeueing.
elv_insert() inserts the given request at the specified position and
does nothing else.

Previously, if a fs request which was being drained failed and got
requeued, blk_do_ordered() didn't allow it to be reissued, which causes
queue stall. This patch makes blk_do_ordered() use the sequence of each
request to determine whether a request can be issued or not. This fixes
the bug and simplifies code.

percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of
cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus.
As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS
loops to use for_each_cpu().
(The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h. powerpc has gone it
alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's
currently corrupting memory).

add @uptodate argument to end_that_request_last() and @error
to rq_end_io_fn(). there's no generic way to pass error code
to request completion function, making generic error handling
of non-fs request difficult (rq->errors is driver-specific and
each driver uses it differently). this patch adds @uptodate
to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn().
for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the
same uptodate argument used in the last call to
end_that_request_first() should suffice. imho, this can also
help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.

- export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait
needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests
- seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and
SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was
already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and
max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only
prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set
a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it
SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low
value to overcome memory and feedback issues.
Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024,
drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of
max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.
