__blk_queue_bounce() relies on a zeroed bio_vec list, since it looks
up arbitrary indexes in the allocated bio. The block layer only
guarentees that added entries are valid, so clear memory after alloc.

Port to the new tracepoints API: split DEFINE_TRACE() and DECLARE_TRACE()
sites. Spread them out to the usage sites, as suggested by
Mathieu Desnoyers.

This was a forward port of work done by Mathieu Desnoyers, I changed it to
encode the 'what' parameter on the tracepoint name, so that one can register
interest in specific events and not on classes of events to then check the
'what' parameter.

This implements functionality to pass down or insert a barrier
in a queue, without having data attached to it. The ->prepare_flush_fn()
infrastructure from data barriers are reused to provide this
functionality.

As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it.
Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
from bi_size. So don't do that either.
While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.

There is a small problem in handling page bounce.
At the moment blk_max_pfn equals max_pfn, which is in fact not maximum
possible _number_ of a page frame, but the _amount_ of page frames. For
example for the 32bit x86 node with 4Gb RAM, max_pfn = 0x100000, but not
0xFFFF.
request_queue structure has a member q->bounce_pfn and queue needs bounce
pages for the pages _above_ this limit. This routine is handled by
blk_queue_bounce(), where the following check is produced:
if (q->bounce_pfn >= blk_max_pfn)
return;
Assume, that a driver has set q->bounce_pfn to 0xFFFF, but blk_max_pfn
equals 0x10000. In such situation the check above fails and for each bio
we always fall down for iterating over pages tied to the bio.
I want to notice, that for quite a big range of device drivers (ide, md,
...) such problem doesn't happen because they use BLK_BOUNCE_ANY for
bounce_pfn. BLK_BOUNCE_ANY is defined as blk_max_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, and
then the check above doesn't fail. But for other drivers, which obtain
reuired value from drivers, it fails. For example sata_nv uses
ATA_DMA_MASK or dev->dma_mask.
I propose to use (max_pfn - 1) for blk_max_pfn. And the same for
blk_max_low_pfn. The patch also cleanses some checks related with
bounce_pfn.

Currently we issue a bounce trace when __blk_queue_bounce() is called,
but that merely means that the device has a lower dma mask than the
higher pages in the system. The bio itself may still be lower pages. So
move the bounce trace into __blk_queue_bounce(), when we know there will
actually be page bouncing.

Move the bounce buffer code from mm/highmem.c to mm/bounce.c so that it can be
more easily disabled when the block layer is disabled.
!!!NOTE!!! There may be a bug in this code: Should init_emergency_pool() be
contingent on CONFIG_HIGHMEM?
