The patch to use host AIO support that I submitted early after 2.6.13 exposed
some problems in the block driver. I have fixes for these, but am not
comfortable putting them into 2.6.14 at this late date. So, this patch reverts
the use of host AIO.
I will resubmit the original patch, plus fixes to the driver after 2.6.14
in order to get a reasonable amount of testing before they're exposed to
the general public.

This adds AIO support to the ubd driver.
The driver breaks a struct request into IO requests to the host, based on the
hardware segments in the request and on any COW blocks covered by the request.
The ubd IO thread is gone, since there is now an equivalent thread in the AIO
module.
There is provision for multiple outstanding requests now. Requests aren't
retired until all pieces of it have been completed. The AIO requests have a
shared count, which is decremented as IO operations come in until it reaches
0. This can be possibly moved to the request struct - haven't looked at this
yet.

This cleans up the error path in ubd_open, causing it now to call ubd_close
appropriately when something fails.

Clean up the hot-unplugging code. There is now an id procedure which is
called to figure out what device we're talking to. The error messages from
that are now done from mconsole_remove instead of the driver. remove is now
called with the device number, after it has been checked, so doesn't need to
do sanity checking on it.

Remove old useless header that was used in Ye Olde Times during 2.4->2.5
porting to abstract differences. It's definitions are no more used anyway, so
let's finally kill it.

Finally rip out the ubd-mmap code, which turned out to be broken by design.

Use the set_disk_ro() API when the backing file is read-only, to mark the disk
read-only, during the ->open(). The current hack does not work when doing a
mount -o remount.
Also, mark explicitly the code paths which should no more be triggerable (I've
removed the WARN_ON(1) things). They should actually become BUG()s probably
but I'll avoid that since I'm not so sure the change works so well. I gave it
only some limited testing.

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!
