We seperate the bio allocation (bio_alloc) from the bio submission so
that the error paths are much easier, and also so that the bio
submission can be done in one tight loop. It also makes the
plug/unplug calls much much easier.

The patch titled:"xen/blkback: Use 'vzalloc' for page arrays and pre-allocate pages."
allocates the structures and its member variables using the 'vzalloc'.

Daniel Stodden pointed out that vzalloc is good when we use
big number of pages - while these are at the max two pages.

We can do this using kzalloc. Also the GFP_HIGHMEM does not
work properly with Xen, so take that out.

We will have to revisit this when a "get_empty_pages_and_pagevec"
type API shows up to leverage that.

Previously we would allocate the array for page using 'kmalloc' which
we can as easily do with 'vzalloc'. The pre-allocation of pages
was done a bit differently in the past - it used to be that
the balloon driver would export "alloc_empty_pages_and_pagevec"
which would have in one function created an array, allocated
the pages, balloned the pages out (so the memory behind those
pages would be non-present), and provide us those pages.

This was OK as those pages were shared between other guest and
the only thing we needed was to "swizzel" the MFN of those pages
to point to the other guest MFN. We can still "swizzel" the MFNs
using the M2P (and P2M) override API calls, but for the sake of
simplicity we are dropping the balloon API calls. We can return
to those later on.

Following in the steps of patch:
"xen: Union the blkif_request request specific fields" this patch
changes the blkback. Per the original patch:

"Prepare for extending the block device ring to allow request
specific fields, by moving the request specific fields for
reads, writes and barrier requests to a union member."

Cherry-pick and modified from 69d64727c42eecd47fdf82c15a54474d21a4012a
("blkback/blktap2: simplify address translations"):

"There are quite a number of places where e.g. page->va->page
translations happen.

Besides yielding smaller code (source and binary), a second goal is to
make it easier to determine where virtual addresses of pages allocated
through alloc_empty_pages_and_pagevec() are really used (in turn in
order to determine whether using highmem pages would be possible
there)."

The second goal is not the purpose of this patch - it is just to
make it easier to read the code.

The API for opening a block device has changed since 2.6.32. The
correct function to open a device is blkdev_get_by_dev.

TODO: Double check xen-blkfront.c

A guest can cause the backend driver to leak a kernel thread. Such
leaked threads hold references to the device, whichmakes the device
impossible to tear down. If shut down, the guest remains a zombie
domain, the xenwatch process hangs, and most xm commands will stop
working.

This patch tries to do the following for blkback:
    - identify/extract idempotent teardown operations,
    - add/move the invocation of said teardown operation
      right before we're about to allocate new resources in the
      Connected states.
