We're trying to get rid of as much as possible tasklist walks, or at
least moving them to core code. This patch falls into the second
category.
Instead of walking the tasklist in cfq-iosched move that into
elv_unregister. The added benefit is that with this change the as
ioscheduler might be might unloadable more easily aswell.
The new code uses read_lock instead of read_lock_irq because the
tasklist_lock only needs irq disabling for writers.

- 100msec sleep is a little excessive, lots of requests can complete
in that timeframe. Use 10msec instead.
- Rename QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS to QUEUE_FLAG_ELVSWITCH to indicate what
is going on.

This patch reimplements elevator switch. This patch assumes generic
dispatch queue patchset is applied.
* Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator
private data set.
* Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter
iosched. They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue.
Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which
have its REQ_ELVPRIV set.
* Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have
its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in
q->rq->elvpriv.
* If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data
is not allocated for new requests.
To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until
elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS. New implementation is much simpler and main code
paths are less cluttered, IMHO.

This patch kills max_back_kb handling from elv_dispatch_sort() and
kills max_back_kb field from struct request_queue.

Currently, both generic elevator code and specific ioscheds
participate in the management and usage of last_merge. This
and the following patches move last_merge handling into
generic elevator code.

Implements generic dispatch queue which can replace all
dispatch queues implemented by each iosched. This reduces
code duplication, eases enforcing semantics over dispatch
queue, and simplifies specific ioscheds.

This patch removes try_module_get race in elevator_find.
try_module_get should always be called with the spinlock protecting
what the module init/cleanup routines register/unregister to held. In
the case of elevators, we should be holding elv_list to avoid it going
away between spin_unlock_irq and try_module_get.

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.
This import is based on my latest from -mm.

__elv_add_request(). rq.count[READ] + rq.count[WRITE] can increase
more than one if another thread has allocated a request after the
current request is allocated or in_flight could have changed resulting
in larger-than-one change of nrq, thus breaking the threshold
mechanism.

This is the reworked version of the patch. It sets REQ_SOFTBARRIER
in two places - in elv_next_request() on BLKPREP_DEFER and in
blk_requeue_request().

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!
