Since nobody has offered an explanation for why the sd driver makes a
write-protect check only for devices with removable media, I'm submitting
this patch to get rid of the removable-media test.

sd_issue_flush() is called from atomic context so we can't use the
semaphore based routines to get a reference to the scsi_disk. Assume
something else already got the reference so we can safely use it.

Currently the driver takes a reference only for requests coming by way
of the gendisk, not for requests coming by way of the struct device or
struct scsi_device. Such requests can arrive in the rescan, flush,
and shutdown pathways.
The patch also makes the scsi_disk keep a reference to the underlying
scsi_device, and it erases the scsi_device's pointer to the scsi_disk
when the scsi_device is removed (since the pointer should no longer be
used).
This resolves Bugzilla entry #5237.

This should eliminate (at least in the mid layer) to make numeric
assumptions about any of the enumeration variables. As a side effect,
it will also make all the messages consistent and line us up nicely for
the error logging strategy (if it ever shows itself again).

This fixes an issue in scsi command initialization from a request
where sd, sr, st, and scsi_lib all fail to copy the request's
cmd_len to the scsi command's cmd_len field.

This patch adds a delay tailored for USB flash devices that are slow to
initialize their firmware. The symptom is a repeated Unit Attention with
ASC=0x28 (Not Ready to Ready transition). The patch will wait for up to 5
seconds for such devices to become ready. Normal devices won't send the
repeated Unit Attention sense key and hence won't trigger the patch.
This fixes a problem with James Roberts-Thomson's USB device, and I've
seen several reports of other devices exhibiting the same symptoms --
presumably they will be helped as well.

This one removes struct scsi_request entirely from sd. In the process,
I noticed we have no callers of scsi_wait_req who don't immediately
normalise the sense, so I updated the API to make it take a struct
scsi_sense_hdr instead of simply a big sense buffer.

After this, we just have some drivers, all the ULDs and the SPI
transport class using scsi_wait_req().

I was going over the scsi I/O submit path, when sd_init_command
construct the scsi command, this_count is already checked in the
previous else if clause. Why does it need to check it again in
the last else block?
Patch to delete the spurious check.

a) TYPE_SDAD renamed to TYPE_RBC and taken to scsi.h
b) in sbp2.c remapping of TYPE_RPB to TYPE_DISK turned off
c) relevant places in midlayer and sd.c taught to accept TYPE_RBC
d) sd.c::sd_read_cache_type() looks into page 6 when dealing with
TYPE_RBC - these guys have writeback cache flag there and are not guaranteed
to have page 8 at all.
e) sd_read_cache_type() got an extra sanity check - it checks that
it got the page it asked for before using its contents. And screams if
mismatch had happened. Rationale: there are broken devices out there that
are "helpful" enough to go for "I don't have a page you've asked for, here,
have another one". For example, PL3507 had been caught doing just that...
f) sbp2 sets sdev->use_10_for_rw and sdev->use_10_for_ms instead
of bothering to remap READ6/WRITE6/MOD_SENSE, so most of the conversions
in there are gone now.
Incidentally, I wonder if USB storage devices that have no
mode page 8 are simply RBC ones. I haven't touched that, but it might
be interesting to check...

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!
