Remove last_merge handling from all ioscheds. This patch
removes merging capability of noop iosched.

This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch
queue. There's one behavior change in as-iosched.
* In as-iosched, when force dispatching
(ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC
and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero. This
prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after
the forced dispatched requests are finished.
* In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the
number of activated (removed) requests to determine
whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been
reached. With generic dispatch queue, I think counting
the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate.
* cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again.

Profiling hit rates on merging shows that the last merge hint works
extremely well for most work loads. So lets kill the linear merge scan in
noop-iosched, so it provides O(1) run time for any operation.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
