Define an osd_dev_info structure that Uniquely identifies an OSD
device lun on the network. The identification is built from unique
target attributes and is the same for all network/SAN machines.
osduld_info_lookup() - NEW
New API that will lookup an osd_dev by its osd_dev_info.
This is used by pNFS-objects for cross network global device
identification. And by exofs multy-device support, the device
info is specified in the on-disk exofs device table.
osduld_device_info() - NEW
Given an osd_dev handle returns its associated osd_dev_info.
The ULD fetches this information at startup and hangs it on
each OSD device. (This is a fast operation that can be called
at any condition)
osduld_device_same() - NEW
With a given osd_dev at one hand and an osd_dev_info
at another, we would like to know if they are the same
device.
Two osd_dev handles can be checked by:
osduld_device_same(od1, osduld_device_info(od2));
osd_auto_detect_ver() - REVISED
Now returns an osd_dev_info structure. Is only called once
by ULD as before. See added comments for how to use.

The true logic of this patch will be clear in the next patch where we
use the class_find_device() API. When doing so the use of an internal
kref leaves us a narrow window where a find is started while the actual
object can go away. Using the device's kobj reference solves this
problem because now the same kref is used for both operations. (Remove
and find)
Core changes
* Embed a struct device in uld_ structure and use device_register
instead of devie_create. Set __remove to be the device release
function.
* __uld_get/put is just get_/put_device. Now every thing is accounted
for on the device object. Internal kref is removed.
* At __remove() we can safely de-allocate the uld_ structure. (The
function has moved to avoid forward declaration)
Some cleanups
* Use class register/unregister is cleaner for this driver now.
* cdev ref-counting games are no longer necessary
I have incremented the device version string in case of new bugs.
Note: Previous bugfix of taking the reference around fput() still
applies.

If scsi has released the device (logout), and exofs has last
reference on the osduld_device it will be freed by
osd_uld_release() within the call to fput(). But this will
oops in cdev_release() which is called after the fops->release.
(cdev is embedded within osduld_device). __uld_get/put pair
makes sure we have a cdev for the duration of fput()

This patch was inspired by Al Viro, for simplifying and fixing the
retrieval of osd-devices by in-kernel users, eg: file systems.
In-Kernel users, now, go through the same path user-mode does by
opening a file on the osd char-device and though holding a reference
to both the device and the Module.
A file pointer was added to the osd_dev structure which is now
allocated for each user. The internal osd_dev is no longer exposed
outside of the uld. I wanted to do that for a long time so each
libosd user can have his own defaults on the device.
The API is left the same, so user code need not change.
It is no longer needed to open/close a file handle on the osd
char-device from user-mode, before mounting an exofs on it.

Remove the creation of the symlink from the device to
it's class. On modern systems this is already created by
a udev rule and would WARN on load. On old systems it is
not needed, none of the current osd user-mode tools use
this link.

Auto detect an OSDv2 or OSDv1 target at run time. Note how none
of the OSD API calls change. The tests do not know what device
version it is.
This test now passes against both the IBM-OSD-SIM OSD1 target
as well as OSC's OSD2 target.

Kernel clients like exofs can retrieve struct osd_dev(s)
by means of below API.
+ osduld_path_lookup() - given a path (e.g "/dev/osd0") locks and
returns the corresponding struct osd_dev, which is then needed
for subsequent libosd use.
+ osduld_put_device() - free up use of an osd_dev.
Devices can be shared by multiple clients. The osd_uld_device's
life time is governed by an embedded kref structure.
The osd_uld_device holds an extra reference to both it's
char-device and it's scsi_device, and will release these just
before the final deallocation.
There are three possible lock sources of the osd_uld_device
1. First and for most is the probe() function called by
scsi-ml upon a successful login into a target. Released in release()
when logout.
2. Second by user-mode file handles opened on the char-dev.
3. Third is here by Kernel users.
All three locks must be removed before the osd_uld_device is freed.
The MODULE has three lock sources as well:
1. scsi-ml at probe() time, removed after release(). (login/logout)
2. The user-mode file handles open/close.
3. Import symbols by client modules like exofs.
TODO:
This API is not enough for the pNFS-objects LD. A more versatile
API will be needed. Proposed API could be:
struct osd_dev *osduld_sysid_lookup(const char id[OSD_SYSTEMID_LEN]);

Add a Linux driver module that registers as a SCSI ULD and probes
for OSD type SCSI devices.
When an OSD-type SCSI device is found a character device is created
in the form of /dev/osdX - where X goes from 0 up to hard coded 64.
The Major character device number used is 260.
