Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

* 'bsg' of git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block: (25 commits)
bsg: Kconfig updates
bsg: add SCSI transport-level request support
bsg: add bidi support
add a struct request pointer to the request structure
bsg: fix the deadlock on discarding done commands
bsg: fix a blocking read bug
bsg: minor bug fixes
improve bsg device allocation
bind bsg to all SCSI devices
bsg: bind bsg to request_queue instead of gendisk
bsg: add a request_queue argument to scsi_cmd_ioctl()
bsg: simplify __bsg_alloc_command failpath
bsg: add cheasy error checks for sysfs stuff
Add queue resizing support
Replace s32, u32 and u64 with __s32, __u32 and __u64 in bsg.h for userspace
bsg: silence a bogus gcc warning
bsg: style cleanup
bsg: use u32 etc instead of uint32_t
bsg: add SG_IO to SG v4
bsg: replace SG v3 with SG v4
...
bsg uses scsi_cmd_ioctl() for some SCSI/sg ioctl
commands. scsi_cmd_ioctl() gets a request queue from a gendisk
arguement. This prevents bsg being bound to SCSI devices that don't
have a gendisk (like OSD). This adds a request_queue argument to
scsi_cmd_ioctl(). The SCSI/sg ioctl commands doesn't use a gendisk so
it's safe for any SCSI devices to use scsi_cmd_ioctl().

With
dma-mapping-prevent-dma-dependent-code-from-linking-on.patch
scsi fails to build on !HAS_DMA architectures:
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x20af6): In function `scsi_dma_map':
: undefined reference to `dma_map_sg'
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x20b5c): In function `scsi_dma_unmap':
: undefined reference to `dma_unmap_sg'
I split those functions out into a new file. Builds on s390 and i386.
Move scsi_dma_{map,unmap} into scsi_lib_dma.c which is only build if
HAS_DMA is set.

This patch tidies up scsi_add_lun a bit. I rewrote the kerneldoc to match
the actual parameters, moved the check for RBC and MMC REPORT_LUN devices
away from the switch(), changed the setup of sdev->type to account for
BLIST_ISROM, moved the check for BLIST_NO_ULD_ATTACH further down in
the function, removed a bogus comment and fixed some whitespace issues.

- The saved sg_count was a leftover from the time the driver was doing
dma mapping by himself. But now that scsi-ml is called for the mapping
it is not the drivers responsibility.
