If we share the tag map between two or more queues, then we cannot
use __set_bit() to set the bit. In fact we need to make sure we
atomically acquire this tag, so loop using test_and_set_bit() to
protect from that.

Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

We don't need to disable irqs to clear current->io_context, it is protected

It can make sense to set read-ahead larger than a single request.
We should not be enforcing such policy on the user. Additionally,
using the BLKRASET ioctl doesn't impose such a restriction. So
additionally we now expose identical behaviour through the two.

cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now:

- The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts

- The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts

The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by
definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is.

The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only.
The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the
priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking
from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall
just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update
the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can
remove this locking as well.

A collection of little fixes and cleanups:

- We don't use the 'queued' sysfs exported attribute, since the
  may_queue() logic was rewritten. So kill it.

- Remove dead defines.

- cfq_set_active_queue() can be rewritten cleaner with else if conditions.

- Several places had cfq_exit_cfqq() like logic, abstract that out and
  use that.

- Annotate the cfqq kmem_cache_alloc() so the allocator knows that this
  is a repeat allocation if it fails with __GFP_WAIT set. Allows the
  allocator to start freeing some memory, if needed. CFQ already loops for
  this condition, so might as well pass the hint down.

- Remove cfqd->rq_starved logic. It's not needed anymore after we dropped
  the crq allocation in cfq_set_request().

- Remove uneeded parameter passing.

After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE
and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing
the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and
indicates use-after-free.

So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward.
