The driver is using now solely its own request queue.
- tape->next_stage is always NULL so it is safe to remove
all code depending on tape->next_stage != NULL
- this patch removes the last place which sets
IDETAPE_FLAG_PIPELINE_ACTIVE in tape->flags

idetape_queue_pc_tail() is a wrapper for its __idetape_queue_pc_tail() counterpart
and has no other functionality. Remove it and call the "wrapped" function
directly.

The computation of the block offset of the the tape position (MTIOCPOS,
MTIOCGET) is not influenced by the stages queued in the pipeline anymore but by
the size of the current buffer which is going to be sent to the drive.

Since we don't do pipeline read-ahead anymore, we don't have to look for
filemarks we have crossed. Therefore, remove the code chunk that does that and
pass on the command to the tape. As a side effect, remove unused
idetape_wait_first_stage().

In order to do away with queueing read requests on the pipeline, several things
have to be done:
1. Do not allocate additional pipeline stages in idetape_init_read() until
(tape->nr_stages < max_stages) and do only read operation preparations. As a
collateral result, idetape_add_stage_tail() becomes unused so remove it.
2. Queue the read request's buffer directly thru idetape_queue_rw_tail().
3. Remove now unused idetape_kmalloc_stage() and idetape_switch_buffers().

Pipeline handling calculations in idetape_calculate_speeds() can
go since they do not have any effect on other functionality besides:
1. info is only being exported through /proc as a read-only item
(controlled_pipeline_head_speed, uncontrolled_pipeline_head_speed)
2. used in idetape_restart_speed_control() which, in turn, is unrelated to
other code
3. used only for pipeline frames number accounting (tape->pipeline_head),
also unused elsewhere.
4.some variables are:
only written to: tape->buffer_head;
unused: tape->tape_head, tape->last_tape_head

Refrain from adding more write requests to the pipeline and queue them
directly on the device's request queue instead.

Prior to allocating a new pipeline stage, the code checked for the existence of
a cached pipeline stage to use. Do away with and stick to normal pipeline
stages only.
[bart: keep idetape_kmalloc_stage() for now]

Remove obsoleted "hdx=noautotune" kernel parameter

Add "ignore_cable" parameter:
* "ide_core.ignore_cable=[interface_number]" boot option if IDE is built-in
(i.e. "ide_core.ignore_cable=1" to force ignoring cable for "ide1")
* "ignore_cable=[interface_number]" module parameter (for ide_core module)
if IDE is compiled as module
v2:
* Add ide_port_apply_params() helper
- use it in ide_device_add_all() and ide_scan_port().
* Make it possible to later disable ignoring cable detection by passing
"[interface_number]:0" to /sys/module/ide_core/parameters/ignore_cable
(however sysfs interface is not enabled yet since it needs some other
IDE changes to make it work reliable).
