Parallel access volumes (PAV) is a storage server feature, that allows
to start multiple channel programs on the same DASD in parallel. It
defines alias devices which can be used as alternative paths to the
same disk. With the old base PAV support we only needed rudimentary
functionality in the DASD device driver. As the mapping between base
and alias devices was static, we just had to export an identifier
(uid) and could leave the combining of devices to external layers
like a device mapper multipath.
Now hyper PAV removes the requirement to dedicate alias devices to
specific base devices. Instead each alias devices can be combined with
multiple base device on a per request basis. This requires full
support by the DASD device driver as now each channel program itself
has to identify the target base device.
The changes to the dasd device driver and the ECKD discipline are:
- Separate subchannel device representation (dasd_device) from block
  device representation (dasd_block). Only base devices are block
  devices.
- Gather information about base and alias devices and possible
  combinations.
- For each request decide which dasd_device should be used (base or
  alias) and build specific channel program.
- Support summary unit checks, which allow the storage server to
  upgrade / downgrade between base and hyper PAV at runtime (support
  is mandatory).

* Convert files to UTF-8.

  * Also correct some people's names
    (one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
    Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
    indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
    which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
    7bit.)

  * Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen)

  * Update Eberhard Mönkeberg's address (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/313)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
