The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

There is no need for open files in /proc/sys/XXX to hold a reference count on
the module that provides the file to prevent module unload races. While there
is code active in the module p->used in the sysctl_table_header is
incremented, preventing the sysctl from being unregisted. Once the sysctl is
unregistered it cannot be found. Open files are also not a problem as they
revalidate the sysctl information and bump p->used before accessing module
code.
So setting de->owner is unnecessary, makes for a bad example and gets in my
way of removing ctl_table->de.

It's a known fact that Windows times out commands after 7 seconds, so
drives generally try and respond if they can before that happens. We
default to 5 seconds, which sometimes is a bit too short.
Jeremy Higdon reported here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/1/145
that his drive takes longer than 5 seconds for a "read track
information" command, later confirming that it is about 6.7 seconds.
So just do the sane thing and change the default command timeout to 7
seconds to avoid other surprises.

The blk_rq_unmap_user() API is not very nice. It expects the caller to
know that rq->bio has to be reset to the original bio, and it will
silently do nothing if that is not done. Instead make it explicit that
we need to pass in the first bio, by expecting a bio argument.

Run this:

echo "De-casting $f..."
perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
done
And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.
And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

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.

Some time ago the cdrom open routine was changed so that we call the
driver's open routine before checking to see if it is read only. However,
if we discovered that a read write open was not possible and the open
flags required a writable open, we just returned -EROFS without calling
the driver's release routine. This seems to work for most cdrom drivers,
but breaks the Powerpc iSeries virtual cdrom rather badly.
This just inserts the release call in the error path to balance the call
to "->open()" done by "open_for_data()".

Change the blk_rq_map_user() and blk_rq_map_kern() interface to require
a previously allocated request to be passed in. This is both more efficient
for multiple iterations of mapping data to the same request, and it is also
a much nicer API.

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!
