[PATCH] Split struct request ->flags into two parts

Right now ->flags is a bit of a mess: some are request types, and
others are just modifiers. Clean this up by splitting it into
->cmd_type and ->cmd_flags. This allows introduction of generic
Linux block message types, useful for sending generic Linux commands
to block devices.

[PATCH] s390: dasd device identifiers

Generate new sysfs-attribute 'uid' that contains an device specific unique
identifier. This can be used to identity multiple ALIASES of the same
physical device (PAV). In addition the sysfs-attributes 'vendor' (containing
the manufacturer of the device) and 'alias' (identify alias or base device) is
added. This is first part of PAV support in LPAR (also valid on zVM).

Add an ->ioctl method to the dasd_discipline structure. This allows to apply

dasd_eckd.c (the only dasd discipline with special ioctls) aswell.

Again lots of code removed. During auditing the ioctls I found two fishy
return value propagations from copy_{from,to}_user, maintainers please check
those, I've marked them with XXX comments.

The first blocks on a cdl formatted dasd device are smaller than the blocksize
of the device. Read requests are padded with a 'e5' pattern. Write requests
should not pad the (user) buffer with 'e5' because a write request is not
allowed to modify the buffer.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

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!
