md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).
These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers
are use to:
1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
are recorded
2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
personality.
Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.
The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.
With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.
This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

Substitute:
page_cache_get -> get_page
page_cache_release -> put_page
PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT -> PAGE_SHIFT
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE -> PAGE_SIZE
PAGE_CACHE_MASK -> PAGE_MASK
__free_page -> put_page
because we aren't using the page cache, we are just using pages.

Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two
into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch
several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the
actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in
just the core (not counting the various drivers).

Apparently sector_div is only guaranteed to work with a 32bit divisor, even

This patch removes some unneeded checks of pointers being NULL before
calling kfree() on them. kfree() handles NULL pointers just fine, checking
first is pointless.

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!
