If the backend supports the 'feature-flush-cache' mode, use that
instead of the 'feature-barrier' support.
Currently there are three backends that support the 'feature-flush-cache'
mode: NetBSD, Solaris and Linux kernel. The 'flush' option is much
light-weight version than the 'barrier' support so lets try to use as
there are no filesystems in the kernel that use full barriers anymore.

barrier variable is int, not long. This overflow caused another variable
override: "err" (in PV code) and "binfo" (in xenlinux code -
drivers/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c). The later caused incorrect device
flags (RO/removable etc).

This is to allow number of commands reserved for use by SCSI tape drives
and medium changers to be adjusted at driver load time via the kernel
parameter cciss_tape_cmds, with a default value of 6, and a range
of 2 - 16 inclusive. Previously, the driver limited the number of
commands which could be queued to the SCSI half of the the driver
to only 2. This is to fix the problem that if you had more than
two tape drives, you couldn't, for example, erase or rewind them all
at the same time.

on driver load, if reset_devices is set, and the hard reset
attempts fail, try to bring up the controller to the point that
a command can be sent, and send it a soft reset command, then
after the reset undo whatever driver initialization was done to get
it to the point to take a command, and re-do it after the reset.
This is to get kdump to work on all the "non-resettable" controllers
(except 64xx controllers which can't be reset due to the potentially
shared cache module.)

The bit-2-doorbell reset method seemed to cause (survivable) NMIs
on some systems and (unsurvivable) IOCK NMIs on some G7 servers.
Firmware guys implemented a new doorbell method to alleviate these
problems triggered by bit 5 of the doorbell register. We want to
use it if it's available.

Detect failure of controller reset by noticing if the 32 bytes of
"driver version" we store on the hardware in the config table
fail to get zeroed out. Previously we noticed if the controller
did not transition to "simple mode", but this did not detect reset
failure if the controller was already in simple mode prior to
the reset attempt (e.g. due to module parameter hpsa_simple_mode=1).

We do a check for the operations right before calling dispatch_rw_block_io.
And then we do the same check in dispatch_rw_block_io. This patch
squashes those checks into the 'dispatch_rw_block_io' function.

This reverts commit 97961ef46b9b5a6a7c918a38b898a7b3e49869f4 b/c
we lose about 15% performance if we do the unplugging and the
end of the reading the ring buffer.
If one runs a simple fio request with random read/write with a
20%/80% ratio, the numbers are incredibly bad when using the CFQ scheduler.

The problem as explained by Vivek Goyal was:
".. that difference is that sync vs async requests. In the case of
a kernel thread submitting IO, [..] all the WRITES might be being
considered as async and will go in a different queue. If you mix those
with some READS, they are always sync and will go in differnet queue.
In presence of sync queue, CFQ will idle and choke up WRITES in
an attempt to improve latencies of READs.
In case of AIO [note: this is what QEMU qdisk is doing] , [..]
it is direct IO and both READS and WRITES will be considered SYNC
and will go in a single queue and no choking of WRITES will take place."
The solution is quite simple, tack on REQ_SYNC (which is
what the WRITE_ODIRECT macro points to) and the numbers go
back up.

We used to the plug/unplug on the submit_bio. But that means
if within a stream of WRITE, WRITE, WRITE,...,WRITE we have
one READ, it could stall the pipeline (as the 'submio_bio'
could trigger the unplug_fnc to be called and stall/sync
when doing the READ). Instead we want to move the unplugging
when the whole (or as a much as possible) ring buffer has been
processed. This also eliminates us doing plug/unplug for
each request.

In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers
and may lead to infinite event loop if ->check_events() implementation
generates events on level condition instead of edge.
Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events,
simply leaving disk->events cleared allows these drivers to keep the
internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird
interactions with userland event handler.

Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write. This is
primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in
progress. This behavior doesn't fit other types of devices with
removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.
This patch introduces new genhd flag which controls the auto-blocking
behavior and uses it to enable auto-blocking only on optical devices.
