Add new option MT_ST_SILI to enable setting the SILI bit in reads in variable
block mode. If SILI is set, reading a block shorter than the byte count does
not result in CHECK CONDITION. The length of the block is determined using the
residual count from the HBA. Avoiding the REQUEST SENSE command for every
block speeds up some real applications considerably.

I overlooked ips_scmd_buf_write and ips_scmd_buf_read when I converted
ips to use the data buffer accessors.
ips is unlikely to use sg chaining (especially in this path) since a)
this path is used only for non I/O commands (with little data
transfer), b) ips's sg_tablesize is set to just 17.
Thanks to Tim Pepper for testing this patch.

Since 2.6.25-rc7, I've been seeing an occasional livelock on one x86_64
machine, copying kernel trees to tmpfs, paging out to swap.
Signature: 6000 pages under writeback but never getting written; most
tasks of interest trying to reclaim, but each get_swap_bio waiting for a
bio in mempool_alloc's io_schedule_timeout(5*HZ); every five seconds an
atomic page allocation failure report from kblockd failing to allocate a
sense_buffer in __scsi_get_command.
__scsi_get_command has a (one item) free_list to protect against this,
but rc1's [SCSI] use dynamically allocated sense buffer
de25deb180 upset that slightly. When it
fails to allocate from the separate sense_slab, instead of giving up, it
must fall back to the command free_list, which is sure to have a
sense_buffer attached.
Either my earlier -rc testing missed this, or there's some recent
contributory factor. One very significant factor is SLUB, which merges
slab caches when it can, and on 64-bit happens to merge both bio cache
and sense_slab cache into kmalloc's 128-byte cache: so that under this
swapping load, bios above are liable to gobble up all the slots needed
for scsi_cmnd sense_buffers below.
That's disturbing behaviour, and I tried a few things to fix it. Adding
a no-op constructor to the sense_slab inhibits SLUB from merging it, and
stops all the allocation failures I was seeing; but it's rather a hack,
and perhaps in different configurations we have other caches on the
swapout path which are ill-merged.
Another alternative is to revert the separate sense_slab, using
cache-line-aligned sense_buffer allocated beyond scsi_cmnd from the one
kmem_cache; but that might waste more memory, and is only a way of
diverting around the known problem.
While I don't like seeing the allocation failures, and hate the idea of
all those bios piled up above a scsi host working one by one, it does
seem to emerge fairly soon with the livelock fix. So lacking better
ideas, stick with that one clear fix for now.

Commit:
a341cd0f (SCSI: add asynchronous event notification API)
breaks:
285e9670 (sr,sd: send media state change modification events)
by introducing an event filter, which is removed here, to make
events, we are depending on, happen again.
Fix this by removing the event filter. It's pretty much broken at the
moment, since a user can't set it (the attribute being read only). A
proper fix will be to make the event discriminator distinguish between
AN and Polled media change events.
