Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
For further information and examples of how to use this, please read

This patch introduces dm_kcopyd_zero() to make it easy to use
kcopyd to write zeros into the requested areas instead
instead of copying. It is implemented by passing a NULL
copying source to dm_kcopyd_copy().
The forthcoming thin provisioning target uses this.

Allow QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT to propagate up the device stack if all
underlying devices are non-rotational. Tools like ureadahead will
schedule IOs differently based on the rotational flag.
With this patch, I see boot time go from 7.75 s to 7.46 s on my device.

Allows CPUs of a given endianness to access a dw controller of a different
endianness. Endianncess difference is detected at run time through the dw
component type register.
EXT_CSD[248] includes the default maximum timeout for CMD6.
This field is added at eMMC4.5 Spec. And it can be used for default
timeout except for some operations which don't define the timeout
(i.e. background operation, sanitize, flush cache) in eMMC4.5 Spec.

mmc: sdhci-pci: add runtime pm support
Ths patch allows runtime PM for sdhci-pci, runtime suspending after
inactivity of 50ms and ensuring runtime resume before SDHC registers
are accessed. During runtime suspend, interrupts are masked.
The host controller state is restored at runtime resume.
For Medfield, the host controller's card detect mechanism is
supplanted by an always-on GPIO which provides for card detect wake-up.

mmc: core: move ->request() call from atomic context
mmc_request_done() is sometimes called from interrupt or other atomic
context. Mostly all mmc_request_done() does is complete(), however it
contains code to retry on error, which uses ->request(). As the error
path is certainly not performance critical, this may be moved to the
waiting function mmc_wait_for_req_done().
This allows ->request() to use runtime PM get_sync() and guarantee it
is never in an atomic context.
