Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.

The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage
and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.
It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.

The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices,
holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes.
We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because:
* we need to handle block sizes larger than a page
* we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks
Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of
available memory. Usage can be viewed and changed in
/sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ .
The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.

Introduce DM_TARGET_IMMUTABLE to indicate that the target type cannot be mixed
with any other target type, and once loaded into a device, it cannot be
replaced with a table containing a different type.
The thin provisioning pool device will use this.

Add a target feature flag DM_TARGET_ALWAYS_WRITEABLE to indicate that a target
does not support read-only mode.

Introduce the concept of a singleton table which contains exactly one target.
If a target type sets the DM_TARGET_SINGLETON feature bit device-mapper
will ensure that any table that includes that target contains no others.
The thin provisioning pool target uses this.

This patch introduces dm_kcopyd_zero() to make it easy to use
kcopyd to write zeros into the requested areas instead
instead of copying. It is implemented by passing a NULL
copying source to dm_kcopyd_copy().
The forthcoming thin provisioning target uses this.

Allow QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT to propagate up the device stack if all
underlying devices are non-rotational. Tools like ureadahead will
schedule IOs differently based on the rotational flag.
With this patch, I see boot time go from 7.75 s to 7.46 s on my device.

Commit 4b239f458 ("x86-64, mm: Put early page table high") causes a S4
regression since 2.6.39, namely the machine reboots occasionally at S4
resume. It doesn't happen always, overall rate is about 1/20. But,
like other bugs, once when this happens, it continues to happen.
This patch fixes the problem by essentially reverting the memory
assignment in the older way.

Fix memory leak introduced by commit a6e50b409d
(dm snapshot: skip reading origin when overwriting complete chunk).
When allocating a set of jobs from kc->job_pool, job->master_job must be
set (to point to itself) so that the mempool item gets freed when the
master_job completes.
master_job was introduced by commit c6ea41fbbe
(dm kcopyd: preallocate sub jobs to avoid deadlock)

v2:
- register_syscore_ops(&s3c24xx_irq_syscore_ops) does not need to be
conditionally compiled out, it is already optimized out on !CONFIG_PM
- fix also s3c2412 and s3c2416 affected by the same build issue
v1:
s3c2440.c fails to build if !CONFIG_PM because in such case
s3c2410_pm_syscore_ops is not defined. Same error should happen also
in s3c2410.c and s3c2442.c
