Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

When suspending a device-mapper device, dm_suspend() sleeps until all
necessary I/O is completed.  This state is triggered by a callback from
persistent_commit().  But some I/O can still be issued *after* the callback
(to prepare the next metadata area for use if the current one is full).  This
patch delays the callback until after that I/O is complete.

Persistent snapshots currently store a private copy of the chunk size.
Userspace also supplies the chunk size when loading a snapshot.  Ensure
consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place instead of two.

Currently the two sizes will differ if the chunk size supplied by userspace
does not match the chunk size an existing snapshot actually uses.  Amongst
other problems, this causes an incorrect 'percentage full' to be reported.

The patch ensures consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place,
removing it from struct pstore.  Some initialisation is delayed until the
correct chunk_size is known.  If read_header() discovers that the wrong chunk
size was supplied, the 'area' buffer (which the header already got read into)
is reinitialised to the correct size.

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!
