The mpt2sas driver wants to use transport layer retries (TLR) so the
simplest thing to do seems to be to add the enabling flags and checks
to the SAS transport class, since they're a SAS specific protocol
feature.

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.
Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...
* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.
[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

scsi_transport_sas calls blk_cleanup_queue too early for bsg
queues. If a user holds a sas_host, end_device, or expander device
open, remove the device, then send a request to it, we get a kernel
crash. We need to call blk_cleanup_queue in the release callback as we
do with scsi devices.
This patch moves blk_cleanup_queue to sas_expander_release and
sas_end_device_release from sas_bsg_remove. sas_host can't use the
release callback in struct device so use bsg's release callback.

This patch adds release callback support, which is called when a bsg
device goes away. bsg_register_queue() takes a pointer to a callback
function. This feature is useful for stuff like sas_host that can't
use the release callback in struct device.
If a caller doesn't need bsg's release callback, it can call
bsg_register_queue() with NULL pointer (e.g. scsi devices can use
release callback in struct device so they don't need bsg's callback).
With this patch, bsg uses kref for refcounts on bsg devices instead of
get/put_device in fops->open/release. bsg calls put_device and the
caller's release callback (if it was registered) in kref_put's
release.

Currently in BSG, errors returned in req->errors aren't passed back to
the calling programme (either via SG_IO or via read/write). Fix this,
while preserving the SCSI convention of returning status in
req->errors.
Now update libsas to return errors correctly instead of to ignore
them.

Currently, bsg doesn't make class backlinks (a process whereby you'd get
a link to bsg in the device directory in the same way you get one for
sg). This is because the bsg device is uninitialised, so the class
device has nothing it can attach to. The fix is to make the bsg device
point to the cdevice of the entity creating the bsg, necessitating
changing the bsg_register_queue() prototype into a form that takes the
generic device.

There's currently no destructor for the bsg components. If you insert
and remove the module, you see the bsg devices building up and up. This
patch adds the destructor in the correct place in the transport class so
that the bsg and request queue are removed just before the device
destruction.

sas_rphy_delete does two things: it removes the sas_rphy from the transport
layer and frees the sas_rphy. This can be broken down into two functions,
sas_rphy_remove and sas_rphy_free; sas_rphy_remove is of interest to
sas_discover_root_expander because it calls functions that require
sas_rphy_add as a prerequisite and can fail (namely sas_discover_expander).
In that case, sas_discover_root_expander needs to be able to undo the effects
of sas_rphy_add yet leave the job of freeing the sas_rphy to the caller of
sas_discover_root_expander.
This patch also removes some unnecessary code from sas_discover_end_dev
to eliminate an unnecessary cycle of sas_notify_lldd_gone/found for SAS
devices, thus eliminating a sas_rphy_remove call (and fixing a race condition
where a SCSI target scan can come in between the gone and found call).
It also moves the sas_rphy_free calls into sas_discover_domain and
sas_ex_discover_end_dev to complement the sas_rphy_allocation via
sas_get_port_device.
This patch does not change the semantics of sas_rphy_delete.

Allowing the phy reset controls to be world-triggerable does not seem like
a terribly good idea because SAS devices can be disrupted (and ATA devices
are really disrupted) by a phy reset. By default only root should be able
to do things like that.

This patch lets a user arbitrarily enable or disable a phy via sysfs.
Potential applications include shutting down a phy to replace one
lane of wide port, and (more importantly) providing a method for the
libata SATL to control the phy.
