To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:
	open(bdev, mode)
	release(disk, mode)
	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

Until recently, the maximum number of xvd block devices you could attach
to a Xen domU was 16. This limitation turned out to be problematic for
some users, so it was expanded to handle a much larger number of disks.
However, this requires a couple of changes in the way that blkfront
scans for disks. This functionality is already present in the Xen
linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tree; the attached patch adds this functionality to
the mainline xen-blkfront implementation. I successfully tested it on a
2.6.25 tree, and build tested it on 2.6.27-rc3.

There are four operating modes Xen code may find itself running in:
 - native
 - hvm domain
 - pv dom0
 - pv domU

Clean up predicates for testing for these states to make them more consistent.

Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path by
preventing the allocations from doing IO and allowing them
to access the emergency pools.

These paths are used when a frontend device is trying to connect
to its backend driver over Xenbus.  These reconnections are triggered
on demand by IO, so by definition there is already IO underway,
and further IO would naturally deadlock.  On resume, this path
is triggered when the running system tries to continue using its
devices.  If it cannot then the resume will fail; to try to avoid this
we let it dip into the emergency pools.

Return 0 instead of -EINVAL if the blkfront device is a cdrom,
i.e. had the VDISK_CDROM attribute.  This allows udev's cdrom_id
to correctly detect the device as a cdrom device.

When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load
is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend
become connected rather than when the disk is added.

This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and
loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all
in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the
scan for physical volumes is complete.

Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore.  Since
the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work
fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to
the backend's native ABI.  This is not the case for xen-blkfront
running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and
thus needs this fix.

The below implements the getgeo hook for Xen block devices. Extracted
from the xen-unstable tree where it has been used for ages.

It is useful to have because it allows things like grub2 (used by the
Debian installer images) to work in a guest domain without having to
sprinkle Xen specific hacks around the place.
