In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers
and may lead to infinite event loop if ->check_events() implementation
generates events on level condition instead of edge.
Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events,
simply leaving disk->events cleared allows these drivers to keep the
internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird
interactions with userland event handler.

Convert paride drivers from ->media_changed() to ->check_events().
pcd and pd buffer and clear events after reporting; however, pf
unconditionally reports MEDIA_CHANGE and will generate spurious events
when polled.

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.
This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

As a preparation for the removal of the big kernel
lock in the block layer, this removes the BKL
from the common ioctl handling code, moving it
into every single driver still using it.

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.

pd/pf/pcd have track in-flight request by pd/pf/pcd_req. They can be
converted to dequeueing model by updating fetching and completion
paths. Convert them.
Note that removal of elv_next_request() call from pf_next_buf()
doesn't make any functional difference. The path is traveled only
during partial completion of a request and elv_next_request() call
must return the same request anyway.

With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
directly manipulates request fields. This means that the 'hard'
request fields always equal the !hard fields. Convert all
rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
accessors.
While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility;
however, it's about time for it to go away.
* There aren't too many users left.
* Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing.
* In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and
[__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing.
So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it.
Most conversions are straightforward. Noteworthy ones are...
* paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take
0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return
0/-errno instead of 1/0. Unnecessary local variable res
initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.
New methods:
open(bdev, mode)
release(disk, mode)
ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */
compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */

The pf driver for parallel port floppy drives seems to be broken. At least
with Imation SuperDisk with EPAT chip, the driver calls pi_connect() and
pi_disconnect after each transferred sector. At least with EPAT, this
operation is very expensive - causes drive recalibration. Thus, transferring
even a single byte (dd if=/dev/pf0 of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1) takes 20
seconds, making the driver useless.
The pf_next_buf() function seems to be broken as it returns 1 always (except
when pf_run is non-zero), causing the loop in do_pf_read_drq (and
do_pf_write_drq) to be executed only once.
The following patch fixes this problem. It also fixes swapped descriptions in
pf_lock() function and removes DBMSG macro, which seems useless.

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.
[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start
to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
sector size.

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!
