We don't need to clear the memory used for adding bio_vec entries,
since nobody should be looking at members unitialized. Any valid
use should be below bio->bi_vcnt, and that members up until that count
must be valid since they were added through bio_add_page().

When we go and allocate a bio for IO, we actually do two allocations.
One for the bio itself, and one for the bi_io_vec that holds the
actual pages we are interested in.

This feature inlines a definable amount of io vecs inside the bio
itself, so we eliminate the bio_vec array allocation for IO's up
to a certain size. It defaults to 4 vecs, which is typically 16k
of IO.

Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one
in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs
in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes.

This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may
want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation
more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio.
Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end
of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now
possible.

We only very rarely need the mempool backing, so it makes sense to
get rid of all but one of the mempool in a bio_set. So keep the
largest bio_vec count mempool so we can always honor the largest

Not all callers need (or want!) the mempool backing guarentee, it
essentially means that you can only use bio_alloc() for short allocations
and not for preallocating some bio's at setup or init time.

So add bio_kmalloc() which does the same thing as bio_alloc(), except
it just uses kmalloc() as the backing instead of the bio mempools.

This patch changes blk_rq_map_user to accept a NULL user-space buffer
with a READ command if rq_map_data is not NULL. Thus a caller can pass

doesn't copy data to user space with such request.

This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of
either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export
a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper
(bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask
for completion on that specific CPU.

In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much
as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired.

This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only
work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp
helper infrastructure.

When devices are stacked, one device's merge_bvec_fn may need to perform
the mapping and then call one or more functions for its underlying devices.

The following bio fields are used:
  bio->bi_sector
  bio->bi_bdev
  bio->bi_size
  bio->bi_rw  using bio_data_dir()

This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those
fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when
going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way
back up.  (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole
exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

    [PATCH] revert blockdev direct io back to 2.6.19 version

    Andrew Vasquez is reporting as-iosched oopses and a 65% throughput
    slowdown due to the recent special-casing of direct-io against

    The patch minimally reverts us back to the 2.6.19 code for a 2.6.20

It has since been dead code, and unless someone wants to revive it now
it's time to remove it.

The only caller of bio_endio that does not pass the full bi_size
is end_that_request_first.  Also, no ->bi_end_io method is really
interested in bi_size being decremented.

So move the decrement and related code into ll_rw_blk and merge it
with order_bio_endio to form req_bio_endio which does endio functionality
specific to request completion.

As some ->bi_end_io methods do check bi_size of 0, we set it thus for
now, but that will go in the next patch.

Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary.

Example

struct test_slab {
	int a,b,c;
	struct list_head;
} __cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC)

will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct
test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.  If it fails then we
