9934c8c045 block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch
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.

[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

83096ebf12 block: convert to pos and nr_sectors accessors
With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
directly manipulates request fields.  This means that the 'hard'
request fields always equal the !hard fields.  Convert all
rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
accessors.

While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

[ Impact: use pos and nr_sectors accessors ]

5047c3c64e blk_end_request: changing sunvdc (take 4)
This patch converts sunvdc to use blk_end_request interfaces.
Related 'uptodate' arguments are converted to 'error'.

As a result, the interface of internal function, vdc_end_request(),
is changed.

1bd4b28039 [SUNVDC]: Use slice 0xff on VD_DISK_TYPE_DISK.
While debugging issues with the VDS server I made the
driver use partition 2 to get at the whole disk since
this is the "whole disk" partition in the Sun disk
label.

We really should use slice 0xff which really means
the whole physical disk in the VIO disk protocol.
Otherwise things won't work well on a disk image
that doesn't have a proper disk label on it.

43fdf27470 [SPARC64]: Abstract out mdesc accesses for better MD update handling.
Since we have to be able to handle MD updates, having an in-tree
set of data structures representing the MD objects actually makes
things more painful.

The MD itself is easy to parse, and we can implement the existing
interfaces using direct parsing of the MD binary image.

The MD is now reference counted, so accesses have to now take the
form:

	handle = mdesc_grab();

	... operations on MD ...

	mdesc_release(handle);

The only remaining issue are cases where code holds on to references
to MD property values.  mdesc_get_property() returns a direct pointer
to the property value, most cases just pull in the information they
need and discard the pointer, but there are few that use the pointer
directly over a long lifetime.  Those will be fixed up in a subsequent
changeset.

A preliminary handler for MD update events from domain services is
there, it is rudimentry but it works and handles all of the reference
counting.  It does not check the generation number of the MDs,
and it does not generate a "add/delete" list for notification to
interesting parties about MD changes but that will be forthcoming.
