get_io_context needlessly turned off interrupts and checked for racing io
context creations. Both of which aren't needed, because the io context can
only be created while in process context of the current process.
Also, split the function in 2. A light version, current_io_context does not
elevate the reference count specifically, but can be used when in process
context, because the process holds a reference itself.

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.
This import is based on my latest from -mm.

blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth was used to optimize out unnecessary
allocations/frees on tag resize. However, the whole thing was very broken -
tag_map was never allocated to real_max_depth resulting in access beyond the
end of the map, bits in [max_depth..real_max_depth] were set when initializing
a map and copied when resizing resulting in pre-occupied tags.
As the gain of the optimization is very small, well, almost nill, remove the
whole thing.

Patch to allocate the control structures for for ide devices on the node of
the device itself (for NUMA systems). The patch depends on the Slab API
change patch by Manfred and me (in mm) and the pcidev_to_node patch that I
posted today.
Does some realignment too.

blk_insert_request() has a unobivous feature of requeuing a
request setting REQ_SPECIAL|REQ_SOFTBARRIER. SCSI midlayer
was the only user and as previous patches removed the usage,
remove the feature from blk_insert_request(). Only special
requests should be queued with blk_insert_request(). All
requeueing should go through blk_requeue_request().

The current problem seen is that the queue lock is actually in the
SCSI device structure, so when that structure is freed on device
release, we go boom if the queue tries to access the lock again.
The fix here is to move the lock from the scsi_device to the queue.

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!
