We can only accept BARRIER requests if all slaves handle
barriers, and that can, of course, change with time....
So we keep track of whether the whole array seems safe for barriers,
and also whether each individual rdev handles barriers.
We initially assumes barriers are OK.
When writing the superblock we try a barrier, and if that fails, we flag
things for no-barriers. This will usually clear the flags fairly quickly.
If writing the superblock finds that BIO_RW_BARRIER is -ENOTSUPP, we need to
resubmit, so introduce function "md_super_wait" which waits for requests to
finish, and retries ENOTSUPP requests without the barrier flag.
When writing the real raid1, write requests which were BIO_RW_BARRIER but
which aresn't supported need to be retried. So raid1d is enhanced to do this,
and when any bio write completes (i.e. no retry needed) we remove it from the
r1bio, so that devices needing retry are easy to find.
We should hardly ever get -ENOTSUPP errors when writing data to the raid.
It should only happen if:
1/ the device used to support BARRIER, but now doesn't. Few devices
change like this, though raid1 can!
or
2/ the array has no persistent superblock, so there was no opportunity to
pre-test for barriers when writing the superblock.

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.
A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.
There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

If a device is flagged 'WriteMostly' and the array has a bitmap, and the
bitmap superblock indicates that write_behind is allowed, then write_behind is
enabled for WriteMostly devices.
Write requests will be acknowledges as complete to the caller (via b_end_io)
when all non-WriteMostly devices have completed the write, but will not be
cleared from the bitmap until all devices complete.
This requires memory allocation to make a local copy of the data being
written. If there is insufficient memory, then we fall-back on normal write
semantics.

The code currently will ignore the bitmap if the array seem to be in-sync.
This is wrong if the array is degraded, and probably wrong anyway. If the
bitmap says some chunks are not in in-sync, and the superblock says everything
IS in sync, then something is clearly wrong, and it is safer to trust the
bitmap.

Due to the use of write-behind, it is possible for md to write a page to

BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN set. But if it is the 'current' page we will have cleared

As the array-wide clean bit (in the superblock) is set more agressively than
the bits in the bitmap are cleared, it is possible to have an array which is
clean despite there being bits set in the bitmap.
These bits will currently never get cleared, as they can only be cleared by a
resync pass, which never happens.
No, when reading bits from disk, be aware of whether the whole array is known
to be in sync, and act accordingly.

With this patch, the intent to write to some block in the array can be logged
to a bitmap file. Each bit represents some number of sectors and is set
before any update happens, and only cleared when all writes relating to all
sectors are complete.
After an unclean shutdown, information in this bitmap can be used to optimise
resync - only sectors which could be out-of-sync need to be updated.
Also if a drive is removed and then added back into an array, the recovery can
make use of the bitmap to optimise reconstruction. This is not implemented in
this patch.
Currently the bitmap is stored in a file which must (obviously) be stored on a
separate device.
The patch only provided infrastructure. It does not update any personalities
to bitmap intent logging.
Md arrays can still be used with no bitmap file. This patch has minimal
impact on such arrays.
