This patch makes part of the scsi probe (which is mostly device spin up and the
partition scan) asynchronous. Only the part that runs after getting the device
number allocated is asynchronous, ensuring that device numbering remains stable.

Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that
various hardware delays are done sequentially.
In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces
infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps
asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays
in practice.
In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this
patch does NOT do full parallel initialization.
Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may
be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects
(instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.

The __SWAB_64_THRU_32__ case of a 64-bit byte swap was depending on the
no-longer-existant ___swab32() method (three underscores). We got rid
of some of the worst indirection and complexity, and now it should just
use the 32-bit swab function that was defined right above it.

This implementation caused problems in userspace which can, and does
define _both_ __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN.

The first step to make swab.h a regular header that will
include an asm/swab.h with arch overrides.
Avoid the gratuitous differences introduced in the new
linux/swab.h by naming the ___constant_swabXX bits and
__fswabXX bits exactly as found in the old implementation
in byteorder/swab[b].h
Use this new swab.h in byteorder/[big|little]_endian.h and
remove the two old swab headers.
Although the inclusion of asm/byteorder.h looks strange in
linux/swab.h, this will allow each arch to move the actual
arch overrides for the swab bits in an asm file and then
the includes can be cleaned up without requiring a flag day
for all arches at once.
Keep providing __fswabXX in case some userspace was using them
directly, but the revised __swabXX should be used instead in
any new code and will always do constant folding not dependent
on the optimization level, which means the __constant versions
can be phased out in-kernel.
Arches that use the old-style arch macros will lose their
optimized versions until they move to the new style, but at
least they will still compile. Many arches have already moved
and the patches to move the remaining arches are trivial.
