The dasd device driver will now support ECKD devices with more then
65520 cylinders.
In the traditional ECKD adressing scheme each track is addressed
by a 16-bit cylinder and 16-bit head number. The new addressing
scheme makes use of the fact that the actual number of heads is
never larger then 15, so 12 bits of the head number can be redefined
to be part of the cylinder address.

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!
