The DASD extended error reporting is a facility that allows to get detailed
information about certain problems in the DASD I/O. This information can be
used to implement fail-over applications that can recover these problems.

Now that there are no more users of the awkward dynamic ioctl hack we can
remove the code to support it.

Add an ->ioctl method to the dasd_discipline structure. This allows to apply
the same kind of cleanups the last patch applied to dasd_ioctl.c to
dasd_eckd.c (the only dasd discipline with special ioctls) aswell.
Again lots of code removed. During auditing the ioctls I found two fishy
return value propagations from copy_{from,to}_user, maintainers please check
those, I've marked them with XXX comments.

Handle ioctls implemented in dasd_ioctl through the normal switch statement
that most drivers use instead of the awkward dasd_ioctl_no_register routine.
This avoids searching a linear list on every call to dasd_ioctl(), and allows
to give the various ioctl implementation functions sane prototypes, aswell as
moving the check for bdev->bd_disk->private_data from the individual functions
to dasd_ioctl. (I think it can't actually every be NULL, but let's keep that
for later)

DASD allows to open a device as soon as gendisk is registered, which means the
device is a fake device (capacity=0) and we do know nothing about blocksize
and partitions at that point of time. In case the device is opened by
someone, the bdev and inode creation is done with the fake device info and the
following partition detection code is just using the wrong data.
To avoid this modify the DASD state machine to make sure that the open is
rejected until the device analysis is either finished or an unformatted device
was detected.

When using the dasd diag discipline, the base discipline module (eckd or fba)
can be unloaded, even though the dasd driver requires both discipline modules
(base and diag) to work correctly.
Implement reference counting for both base and diag discipline modules in
order to fix this.

- Remove all CVS generated information like e.g. revision IDs from
drivers/s390 and include/asm-s390 (none present in arch/s390).
- Add newline at end of arch/s390/lib/Makefile to avoid diff message.

Add a compat_ioctl method to the dasd driver so the last entries in
arch/s390/kernel/compat_ioctl.c can go away. Unlike the previous attempt this
one does not replace the ioctl method with an unlocked_ioctl method so that
the ioctl_by_bdev calls in s390 partition code continue to work.

To properly support multipath-failover handling, the linux block layer has
introduced a special request flag, 'REQ_FAILFAST'. This flag is now used to
return requests immediately in case the device is not operational.

Reintroduce a read-only copy of the devmap features in the device struct.
This is necessary to solve a deadlock on the dasd_devmap_lock which is
acquired by dasd_get_features called from the dasd tasklet. The current
implementation of devmap doesn't allow to call any devmap function from
interrupt or softirq context.

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!
