This patch removes some code that became dead code after the ATARI_ACSI
removal.

It also indirectly fixes the following bug introduced by
commit c2bcf3b8:

 config ATARI_SLM
        tristate "Atari SLM laser printer support"
-       depends on ATARI && ATARI_ACSI!=n
+       depends on ATARI

Originally from Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

It hasn't been working in 2.5 or 2.6 ever, since it's still buffer_head
based.

The BLK_DEV_SWIM_IOP driver has:
- already been marked as BROKEN in 2.6.0 three years ago and
- is still marked as BROKEN.

Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still
present in the older kernel releases.

drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move
the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/
related block parts to block/ next.

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!
