<title>block: Make most scsi_req_init() calls implicit</title>

<content type='text'>
Instead of explicitly calling scsi_req_init() after blk_get_request(),
call that function from inside blk_get_request(). Add an
.initialize_rq_fn() callback function to the block drivers that need
it. Merge the IDE .init_rq_fn() function into .initialize_rq_fn()
because it is too small to keep it as a separate function. Keep the
scsi_req_init() call in ide_prep_sense() because it follows a
blk_rq_init() call.

The function only returns -EIO if rq-&gt;errors is non-zero, which is not
very useful and lets a large number of callers ignore the return value.

Just let the callers figure out their error themselves.

<title>block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space</title>

Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
all into the operations.  The little caveat here is that previously
cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
operations.

Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

Currently the legacy ide driver defines several request types of it's own,
which is in the way of removing that field entirely.

Instead add a type field to struct ide_request and use that to distinguish
the different types of IDE-internal requests.

It's a bit of a mess, but so is the surrounding code..

And require all drivers that want to support BLOCK_PC to allocate it
as the first thing of their private data.  To support this the legacy
IDE and BSG code is switched to set cmd_size on their queues to let
the block layer allocate the additional space.

This patch converts the IDE specific LED trigger to a generic disk
activity LED trigger. The libata core is now a trigger source just
like before the IDE disk driver. It's merely a replacement of the
string ide by disk.

The patch is taken from http://dev.gentoo.org/~josejx/ata.patch and is
widely used by any ibook/powerbook owners with great satisfaction.
Likewise, it is very often used successfully on different ARM platforms.

Unlike the original patch, the existing 'ide-disk' trigger is still
available for backward compatibility. That reduce the amount of patches
in affected device trees out of the mainline kernel. For further
development, the new name 'disk-activity' should be used.
