Handle the parameters provided by user thru multipath.
This handler expects only 2 parameters and their value can either be 0 or 1.
This code originates from the old dm-emc.c file. Appropriate changes have
been made to make it work in the new design.

Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device
error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just
access the same device but from a different path.
This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors.
The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to
fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask
to fast fail on all errors.
Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit
is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast
bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers
like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check
for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert
scsi.

Fix by making csdev->buffer explicitly an unsigned char and dropping
the < 0 test.

blk_get_request initializes rq->cmd (rq_init does) so the users don't
need to do that.

Change scsi_dh check_sense functions to return ADD_TO_MLQUEUE
to allow retries to occur without restriction of blk_noretry_request
check.

This patch converts the EMC device handler to use a proper
state machine. We now also parse the extended INQUIRY
information to determine if long trespass commands are
supported. And we're now using the long trespass command
correctly. And finally there's now an check at init time
to refuse to attach to devices not supporting EMC-specific
VPD pages.

Instead of having each and every driver implement its own
device table scanning code we should rather implement a common
routine and scan the device tables there.
This allows us also to implement a general notifier chain
callback for all device handler instead for one per handler.

Before accessing the device data structure in hardware handlers,
make sure it is a indeed a sdev device.

and later tested/verified the following fix.

This adds support for EMC Clariions. This patch has the features that
currently exists in mainline and advanced features from Ed's patches.
