Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in
struct requests. This allows much easier grepping for different request
types instead of unwinding through macros.

block uses ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD for BLK_BOUNCE_ISA. Only SCSI uses
ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD for ancient drivers with non-zero
unchecked_isa_dma. Nowadays drivers (and subsystems) use dma_mask
properly instead of ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD.
Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt says:
unchecked_isa_dma - 1=>only use bottom 16 MB of ram (ISA DMA addressing
restriction), 0=>can use full 32 bit (or better) DMA
address space
So block simply uses DMA_BIT_MASK(24) for BLK_BOUNCE_ISA for SCSI.

We can safely remove ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD usage in aha1542. aha1542 uses
ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD to see if:
- the buffers in scatter/list are below 16MB.
- scsi_host is below 16MB.
Both checkings were added in the ancient times but aren't necessary
nowadays since we properly bounce the buffers and allocate scsi_host
below 16MB with non-zero unchecked_isa_dma.

A barrier request should by defintion have priority in get_request
and let the queue be unplugged immediately as it's blocking all forward
progress due to the queue draining.
Most filesystems already get this implicitly by the way how submit_bh
treats the buffer_ordered flag, and gfs2 sets it explicitly. But btrfs
and XFS are still forgetting to set the flag, as is blkdev_issue_flush
and some places in DM/MD.
For XFS on metadata heavy workloads this gives a consistent speedup
in the 2-3% range.

Convert assertions to use WARN(). There are several error checks in the
code for things that should never happen. Convert them to standard
warnings so kerneloops.org will see them.

The first thing the floppy does is read block 0 to test geometry and to
test for disk presence. If disk is not present this causes a console
warning message about failed I/O. Set flag to silence.

The definition of next_command also ended up in wrong place It ended up
inside an "#ifdef CONFIG_PROCFS". Already caught by Randy Dunlap and a

Make sure we register the performant mode interrupt Another blunder.
Seemed to work because the call to put_controller_into_performant_mode was

There are two reasons for doing this:
- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.
This adds /sys/block/<dev>/queue/add_random that will allow you to
switch off on a per-device basis. The default setting is on, so there
should be no functional changes from this patch.

Add support for new controllers due out next year. HP must continue to
support new controllers in older distros. All vendors require support be
upstream. These controllers support only 16 commands in simple mode but
can support up to 1024 in performant mode. See patch 5/6/ We have no
marketing names yet.

Add a mode of controller operation called Performant Mode. Even though
cciss has been deprecated in favor of hpsa there are new controllers due
out next year that HP must support in older vendor distros. Vendors
require all fixes/features be upstream. These new controllers support
only 16 commands in simple mode but support up to 1024 in performant mode.
This requires us to add this support at this late date.
The performant mode transport minimizes host PCI accesses by performinf
many completions per read. PCI writes are posted so the host can write
then immediately get off the bus not waiting for the writwe to complete to
the target. In the context of performant mode the host read out to a
controller pulls all posted writes into host memory ensuring the reply
queue is coherent.

Check to see if h->msi[x]_vector is set. We need this for a following
patch. Without this check we process one interrupt then stop because in
msi[x] mode the interrupt pending bit is not set. Not sure why we didn't
encounter this before.
