This patch adds a service time oriented dynamic load balancer,
dm-service-time, which selects the path with the shortest estimated
service time for the incoming I/O.
The service time is estimated by dividing the in-flight I/O size
by a performance value of each path.
The performance value can be given as a table argument at the table
loading time. If no performance value is given, all paths are
considered equal.

This patch adds a dynamic load balancer, dm-queue-length, which
balances the number of in-flight I/Os across the paths.
The code is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader:

Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module
(raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other
non-md drivers/modules. This precludes a circular dependency of raid456
needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in
turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines.
To support this move:
1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h
2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported
3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to
compile

Use the -y variables instead of the old -objs so we can easily add
conditional objects to the modules. Also always use += to add
subobjects to avoid problems when placing additional objects in
some place in the file.

Implement simple read-only sysfs entry for device-mapper block device.
This patch adds a simple sysfs directory named "dm" under block device
properties and implements
- name attribute (string containing mapped device name)
- uuid attribute (string containing UUID, or empty string if not set)
The kobject is embedded in mapped_device struct, so no additional
memory allocation is needed for initializing sysfs entry.
During the processing of sysfs attribute we need to lock mapped device
which is done by a new function dm_get_from_kobj, which returns the md
associated with kobject and increases the usage count.
Each 'show attribute' function is responsible for its own locking.

* 'ioat-md-accel-for-linus' of git://lost.foo-projects.org/~dwillia2/git/iop: (28 commits)
ioatdma: add the unisys "i/oat" pci vendor/device id
ARM: Add drivers/dma to arch/arm/Kconfig
iop3xx: surface the iop3xx DMA and AAU units to the iop-adma driver
iop13xx: surface the iop13xx adma units to the iop-adma driver
dmaengine: driver for the iop32x, iop33x, and iop13xx raid engines
md: remove raid5 compute_block and compute_parity5
md: handle_stripe5 - request io processing in raid5_run_ops
md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async expand ops
md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async read ops
md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async check ops
md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async compute ops
md: handle_stripe5 - add request/completion logic for async write ops
md: common infrastructure for running operations with raid5_run_ops
md: raid5_run_ops - run stripe operations outside sh->lock
raid5: replace custom debug PRINTKs with standard pr_debug
raid5: refactor handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6 (v3)
async_tx: add the async_tx api
xor: make 'xor_blocks' a library routine for use with async_tx
dmaengine: make clients responsible for managing channels
dmaengine: refactor dmaengine around dma_async_tx_descriptor
...
The async_tx api tries to use a dma engine for an operation, but will fall
back to an optimized software routine otherwise. Xor support is
implemented using the raid5 xor routines. For organizational purposes this
routine is moved to a common area.
The following fixes are also made:
* rename xor_block => xor_blocks, suggested by Adrian Bunk
* ensure that xor.o initializes before md.o in the built-in case
* checkpatch.pl fixes
* mark calibrate_xor_blocks __init, Adrian Bunk

This patch supports LSI/Engenio devices in RDAC mode. Like dm-emc
it requires userspace support. In your multipath.conf file you must have:
path_checker rdac
hardware_handler "1 rdac"
prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_tpc /dev/%n"
And you also then must have a updated multipath tools release which
has rdac support.

There is a lot of commonality between raid5.c and raid6main.c. This patches
merges both into one module called raid456. This saves a lot of code, and
paves the way for online raid5->raid6 migrations.
There is still duplication, e.g. between handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6.
This will probably be cleaned up later.

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.

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!
