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.

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().

Fix soft lockup with iSeries viocd driver, caused by eventually calling
end_that_request_first() with nr_bytes 0.
Some versions of hald do an SG_IO ioctl on the viocd device which becomes a
request with hard_nr_sectors and hard_cur_sectors set to zero. Passing zero
as the number of sectors to end_request() (which calls
end_that_request_first()) causes an infinite loop when the bio is being freed.
This patch makes sure that the zero is never passed. It only requires some
number larger the the request size the terminate the loop.
The lockup is triggered by hald, interrogating the device.

There is no need for open files in /proc/sys/XXX to hold a reference count on
the module that provides the file to prevent module unload races. While there
is code active in the module p->used in the sysctl_table_header is
incremented, preventing the sysctl from being unregisted. Once the sysctl is
unregistered it cannot be found. Open files are also not a problem as they
revalidate the sysctl information and bump p->used before accessing module
code.
So setting de->owner is unnecessary, makes for a bad example and gets in my
way of removing ctl_table->de.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

It's a known fact that Windows times out commands after 7 seconds, so
drives generally try and respond if they can before that happens. We
default to 5 seconds, which sometimes is a bit too short.
Jeremy Higdon reported here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/1/145
that his drive takes longer than 5 seconds for a "read track
information" command, later confirming that it is about 6.7 seconds.
So just do the sane thing and change the default command timeout to 7
seconds to avoid other surprises.

The blk_rq_unmap_user() API is not very nice. It expects the caller to
know that rq->bio has to be reset to the original bio, and it will
silently do nothing if that is not done. Instead make it explicit that
we need to pass in the first bio, by expecting a bio argument.

- Eliminate casts to/from void*
- Eliminate checks for conditions that never occur. These typically
fall into two classes:
1) Checking for 'dev_id == NULL', then it is never called with
NULL as an argument.
2) Checking for invalid irq number, when the only caller (the
system) guarantees the irq handler is called with the proper
'irq' number argument.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.
