With this patch, the intent to write to some block in the array can be logged to a bitmap file. Each bit represents some number of sectors and is set before any update happens, and only cleared when all writes relating to all sectors are complete. After an unclean shutdown, information in this bitmap can be used to optimise resync - only sectors which could be out-of-sync need to be updated. Also if a drive is removed and then added back into an array, the recovery can make use of the bitmap to optimise reconstruction. This is not implemented in this patch. Currently the bitmap is stored in a file which must (obviously) be stored on a separate device. The patch only provided infrastructure. It does not update any personalities to bitmap intent logging. Md arrays can still be used with no bitmap file. This patch has minimal impact on such arrays.

1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced) from 'int' to 'sector_t'. The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large. Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use 0 instead 2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report that it skipped the sectors. This allows md to take this into account in the speed calculations. Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync that is coming will use this.

When md marks the superblock dirty before a write, it calls generic_make_request (to write the superblock) from within generic_make_request (to write the first dirty block), which could cause problems later. With this patch, the superblock write is always done by the helper thread, and write request are delayed until that write completes. Also, the locking around marking the array dirty and writing the superblock is improved to avoid possible races.

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!
