Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch
instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.
For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.
blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

ppc has special instruction forms to efficiently load and store values
in non-native endianness. These can be accessed via the arch-specific
{ld,st}_le{16,32}() inlines in arch/powerpc/include/asm/swab.h.
However, gcc is perfectly capable of generating the byte-reversing
load/store instructions when using the normal, generic cpu_to_le*() and
le*_to_cpu() functions eaning the arch-specific functions don't have much
point.
Worse the "le" in the names of the arch specific functions is now
misleading, because they always generate byte-reversing forms, but some
ppc machines can now run a little-endian kernel.
To start getting rid of the arch-specific forms, this patch removes them
from all the old Power Macintosh drivers, replacing them with the
generic byteswappers.

The old PowerMac swim3 driver has some "interesting" locking issues,
using a private lock and failing to lock the queue before completing
requests, which triggered WARN_ONs among others.
This rips out the private lock, makes everything operate under the
block queue lock, and generally makes things simpler.
We used to also share a queue between the two possible instances which
was problematic since we might pick the wrong controller in some cases,
so make the queue and the current request per-instance and use
queuedata to point to our private data which is a lot cleaner.
We still share the queue lock but then, it's nearly impossible to actually
use 2 swim3's simultaneously: one would need to have a Wallstreet
PowerBook, the only machine afaik with two of these on the motherboard,
and populate both hotswap bays with a floppy drive (the machine ships
only with one), so nobody cares...
While at it, add a little fix to clear up stale interrupts when loading
the driver or plugging a floppy drive in a bay.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

The hotplug mediabay has tendrils deep into drivers/ide code
which makes a libata port reather difficult. In addition it's
ugly and could be done better.
This reworks the interface between the mediabay and the rest
of the world so that:
- Any macio_driver can now have a mediabay_event callback
which will be called when that driver sits on a mediabay and
it's been either plugged or unplugged. The device type is
passed as an argument. We can now move all the IDE cruft
into the IDE driver itself
- A check_media_bay() function can be used to take a peek
at the type of device currently in the bay if any, a cleaner
variant of the previous function with the same name.
- A pair of lock/unlock functions are exposed to allow the
IDE driver to block the hotplug callbacks during the initial
setup and probing of the bay in order to avoid nasty race
conditions.
- The mediabay code no longer needs to spin on the status
register of the IDE interface when it detects an IDE device,
this is done just fine by the IDE code itself
Overall, less code, simpler, and allows for another driver
than our old drivers/ide based one.

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.
Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...
* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.
