For all of you that think cciss should be a scsi driver here is the patch that
you have been waiting for all these years. This patch actually adds the SG_IO
ioctl to cciss. The primary purpose is for clustering and high-availibilty.
But now anyone can exploit this ioctl in any manner they wish.
Note, SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND doesn't work with this patch due to rq->errors
being set incorrectly. Subsequent patch fixes that.

Remove artificial maximum 256 loop device that can be created due to a
legacy device number limit. Searching through lkml archive, there are
several instances where users complained about the artificial limit that
the loop driver impose. There is no reason to have such limit.
This patch rid the limit entirely and make loop device and associated block
queue instantiation on demand. With on-demand instantiation, it also gives
the benefit of not wasting memory if these devices are not in use (compare
to current implementation that always create 8 loop devices), a net
improvement in both areas. This version is both tested with creation of
large number of loop devices and is compatible with existing losetup/mount
user land tools.

Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making device
list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of dev_base variable
and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced by for_each_netdev
loop. A few most complicated places were converted to using
first_netdev()/next_netdev().

there are devices out there with extra endpoints. It is perfectly legal.

For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.
This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more
"complex" cases.

For the places where we need a pointer to the mac header, it is still legal to
touch skb->mac.raw directly if just adding to, subtracting from or setting it
to another layer header.
This one also converts some more cases to skb_reset_mac_header() that my
regex missed as it had no spaces before nor after '=', ugh.

The packet driver is assuming (reasonably) that the (undocumented)
request.errors is an errno. But it is in fact some mysterious bitfield. When
things go wrong we return weird positive numbers to the VFS as pointers and it
goes oops.
Thanks to William Heimbigner for reporting and diagnosis.
(It doesn't oops, but this driver still doesn't work for William)

pcd_lock and pf_spin_lock are passed to blk_init_queue() which, seeing them
as valid lock pointer, sets it as ->queue_lock.
The problem is that pcd_lock and pf_spin_lock aren't initialized anywhere.

initramfs ended up depending on BLOCK:
INITRAMFS_SOURCE <-- BLK_DEV_INITRD <-- BLOCK
This inhibits use of customized-initramfs-over-ramfs without block layer
(ramfs would still be enabled), useful in embedded applications.
Move BLK_DEV_INITRD out of 'drivers/block/Kconfig' and into 'init/Kconfig',
make it unconditional.

This patch changes the way we determine if a logical volume is larger than
2TB.
The original test looked for a total_size of 0. Originally we added 1 to the
total_size. That would make our read_capacity return size 0 for >2TB lv's.
We assumed that we could not have a lv size of 0 so it seemed OK until we were
in a clustered system. The backup node would see a size of 0 due to the
reservation on the drive. That caused the driver to switch to 16-byte CDB's
which are not supported on older controllers. After that everything was
broken.
It may seem petty but I don't see the value in trying to determine if the LBA
is beyond the 2TB boundary. That's why when we switch we use 16-byte CDB's
for all read/write operations. Please consider this for inclusion.

If one of clear_bit, change_bit or set_bit is defined as a do { } while (0)
function usage of these functions in parenthesis like
(foo_bit(23, &var))
while be expaned to something like
(do { ... } while (0)}).
resulting in a build error. This patch removes the useless parenthesis.
