Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.
Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.

- Based on same patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
- Get rid of all the indirection in the Scsi_Host private data and always
put the gdth_ha_str directly into it.
- Change all internal functions prototype to recieve an "gdth_ha_str *ha"
pointer directlly and kill all that redundent access to the "gdth_ctr_tab[]"
controller-table.

The virt_ctr option allows to register a new scsi_host for each bus
on the raid controller. This non-default option makes no sense with
the current scsi code and prevents cleaning up the host registration,
so remove it.

Initial pass at converting the gdth driver away from the scsi_request
interface so that the request interface can be removed post 2.6.18
without breaking gdth. Based on changes from Christoph Hellwig

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!
