The grace period handling introduced needless complexity. It didn't
help the dasd driver (which can handle terminated I/O just well),
and it doesn't help for long running channel programs (which won't
complete during the grace period anyway). Terminating I/O using a
path that just disappeared immediately is much more consistent with
what the user expects.

Fixes for several channel measurement facility bugs:
* Blocks copied from the hardware might not be consistent. Solve this
  by moving the copying into idle state and repeating the copying.
* avg_sample_interval changed with every read, even though no new block
  was available. Solve this by storing a timestamp when the last new
  block was received.
* Several locking issues.
* Measurements were not reenabled after a disconnected device became
  available again.
* Remove #defines for ioctls that were never implemented.

Changes in the DASD driver require an asynchronous implementation of the
subchannel reprobe loop. This loop was so far only used by the blacklisting
mechanism but is now available to all CCW device drivers.

This patch introduces a struct subchannel_id containing the subchannel number
(formerly referred to as "irq") and switches code formerly relying on the
subchannel number over to it.

While we're touching inline assemblies anyway, make sure they have correct
memory constraints.

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!
