Locking added so that multithreaded applications can now do writes
from different threads without the risk of storage corruption.

If memory buffers above 2GB are used, diagnose 14 raises a specification
exception. This fix ensures that buffer allocation is done below the 2GB
boundary.

If the z/VM reader is already open, it can happen that after opening the
Linux reader device, not the topmost file is processed. According the
semantics of the Linux z/VM unit record device driver, always the topmost
file has to be processed. With this fix an error is returned if that is
not the case.

If a reader file with HOLD status is at the top of the reader queue, currently
all read requests will return data of the second file in the queue. But the
semantics of vmur is that always the topmost file is read. With this fix
-EPERM is returned on open, if the topmost reader file is in HOLD status.

vmur allocates one contiguous kernel buffer to copy user data when creating
ccw programs for punch or printer. If big block sizes are used, under memory
pressure it can happen, that we do not get memory in one chunk. Now we
allocate memory for each single record to avoid high order allocations.

The slsb structure contained at the beginning of the qdio_q structure
must start on a 256 byte boundary. To make sure this is the case even
if slab debugging is turned on create an own slab cache for qdio_q
structures.
Besides that don't use the slab allocator to allocate whole pages. Use
the page allocator instead.
Also fix a few memory leaks in error handling code.

This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside
of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions
that we already have available to us.
This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to
fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ
(because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate
offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly
to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a
third of a second or so.

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.
