Having a macro just to cast a void* isn't really helpful.
I would must rather see that we are simply de-referencing ->private,
than have to know what the macro does.
So open code the macro everywhere and remove the pointless cast.

If we treat conf->devlist more like a 2 dimensional array,
we can get the devlist for a particular zone simply by indexing
that array, so we don't need to store the pointers to subarrays
in strip_zone. This makes strip_zone smaller and so (hopefully)
searches faster.

storing ->sectors is redundant as is can be computed from the
difference z->zone_end - (z-1)->zone_end
The one place where it is used, it is just as efficient to use
a zone_end value instead.
And removing it makes strip_zone smaller, so they array of these that
is searched on every request has a better chance to say in cache.
So discard the field and get the value from elsewhere.

The "sector_shift" and "spacing" fields of struct raid0_private_data
were only used for the hash table lookups. So the removal of the
hash table allows get rid of these fields as well which simplifies
create_strip_zones() and raid0_run() quite a bit.

The raid0 hash table has become unused due to the changes in the
previous patch. This patch removes the hash table allocation and
setup code and kills the hash_table field of struct raid0_private_data.

The number of strip_zones of a raid0 array is bounded by the number of
drives in the array and is in fact much smaller for typical setups. For
example, any raid0 array containing identical disks will have only
a single strip_zone.
Therefore, the hash tables which are used for quickly finding the
strip_zone that holds a particular sector are of questionable value
and add quite a bit of unnecessary complexity.
This patch replaces the hash table lookup by equivalent code which
simply loops over all strip zones to find the zone that holds the
given sector.
In order to make this loop as fast as possible, the zone->start field
of struct strip_zone has been renamed to zone_end, and it now stores
the beginning of the next zone in sectors. This allows to save one
addition in the loop.
Subsequent cleanup patches will remove the hash table structure.

This makes the includes more explicit, and is preparation for moving
md_k.h to drivers/md/md.h
Remove include/raid/md.h as its only remaining use was to #include
other files.

Move the headers with the local structures for the disciplines and
bitmap.h into drivers/md/ so that they are more easily grepable for
hacking and not far away. md.h is left where it is for now as there
are some uses from the outside.
