cciss: separate cmd_alloc() and cmd_special_alloc()
cmd_alloc() took a parameter which caused it to either allocate
from a pre-allocated pool, or allocate using pci_alloc_consistent.
This parameter is always known at compile time, so this would
be better handled by breaking the function into two functions
and differentiating the cases by function names. Same goes
for cmd_free().

cciss: forbid hard reset of 640x boards
The 6402/6404 are two PCI devices -- two Smart Array controllers
-- that fit into one slot. It is possible to reset them independently,
however, they share a battery backed cache module. One of the pair
controls the cache and the 2nd one access the cache through the first
one. If you reset the one controlling the cache, the other one will
not be a happy camper. So we just forbid resetting this conjoined
mess.

cciss: sanitize max commands
Some controllers might try to tell us they support 0 commands

cciss: Fix hard reset code.
Smart Array controllers newer than the P600 do not honor the
PCI power state method of resetting the controllers. Instead,
in these cases we can get them to reset via the "doorbell" register.
This escaped notice until we began using "performant" mode because
the fact that the controllers did not reset did not normally
impede subsequent operation, and so things generally appeared to
"work". Once the performant mode code was added, if the controller
does not reset, it remains in performant mode. The code immediately
after the reset presumes the controller is in "simple" mode
(which previously, it had remained in simple mode the whole time).
If the controller remains in performant mode any code which presumes
it is in simple mode will not work. So the reset needs to be fixed.
Unfortunately there are some controllers which cannot be reset by
either method. (eg. p800). We detect these cases by noticing that
the controller seems to remain in performant mode even after a
reset has been attempted. In those cases we ignore the controller,
as any commands outstanding on it will result in stale completions.
To sum up, we try to do a better job of resetting the controller if
"reset_devices" is set, and if it doesn't work, we ignore that
controller.

This restores the changes from "scsi/i2o_block: cleanup ioctl
handling", which accidentally got reverted.
Origignal changelog:
This fixes the ioctl function of the i2o_block driver, which
has multiple problems:
* The BLKI2OSRSTRAT and BLKI2OSWSTRAT commands always return
-ENOTTY on success, where they should return 0.
* Support for 32 bit compat is missing
* The driver should use the .ioctl function and because
.locked_ioctl is going away.
The use of the big kernel lock remains for now, but gets
made explictit in the ioctl function.
Every user of the BKL in the sd driver is the
result of the pushdown from the block layer
into the open/close/ioctl functions.
The only place that used to rely on the BKL is
the sdkp->openers variable, which gets converted
into an atomic_t.
Nothing else seems to rely on the BKL, since the
functions do not touch global data without holding
another lock, and the open/close functions are
still protected from concurrent execution using
the bdev->bd_mutex.
The blkpg_ioctl and blkdev_reread_part access fields of
the bdev and gendisk structures, yet they always do so
under the protection of bdev->bd_mutex, which seems
sufficient.
We only call the functions set_device_ro(),
invalidate_bdev(), sync_filesystem() and sync_blockdev()
while holding the BKL in these commands. All
of these are also done in other code paths without
the BKL, which leads me to the conclusion that
the BKL is not needed here either.
The reason we hold it here is that it was originally
pushed down into the ioctl function from vfs_ioctl.

block: push down BKL into .open and .release
The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.
As a preparation for the removal of the big kernel
lock in the block layer, this removes the BKL
from the common ioctl handling code, moving it
into every single driver still using it.
This fixes the ioctl function of the i2o_block driver, which
has multiple problems:
* The BLKI2OSRSTRAT and BLKI2OSWSTRAT commands always return
-ENOTTY on success, where they should return 0.
* Support for 32 bit compat is missing
* The driver should use the .ioctl function and because
.locked_ioctl is going away.

made explictit in the ioctl function.

SCSI-ml needs a way to mark a request as flush request in
q->prepare_flush_fn because it needs to identify them later (e.g. in
q->request_fn or prep_rq_fn).
queue_flush sets REQ_HARDBARRIER in rq->cmd_flags however the block
layer also sends normal REQ_TYPE_FS requests with REQ_HARDBARRIER. So
SCSI-ml can't use REQ_HARDBARRIER to identify flush requests.
We could change the block layer to clear REQ_HARDBARRIER bit before
sending non flush requests to the lower layers. However, intorudcing

A barrier request should by defintion have priority in get_request

Most filesystems already get this implicitly by the way how submit_bh
