<content type='text'>
Add a new config option that controls building the buffer_head code, and
select it from all file systems and stacking drivers that need it.

For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path
is provided when buffer_head support is not enabled, and iomap needs a
a small tweak to define the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag to 0 to not call
into the buffer_head code when it doesn't exist.

Otherwise this is just Kconfig and ifdef changes.

<content type='text'>
The support for bitmaps on files is a very bad idea abusing various kernel
APIs, and fundamentally requires the file to not be on the actual array
without a way to check that this is actually the case.  Add a deprecation
warning to see if we might be able to eventually drop it.

<content type='text'>
The support for write intent bitmaps in files on an external files in md
is a hot mess that abuses -&gt;bmap to map file offsets into physical device
objects, and also abuses buffer_heads in a creative way.

Make this code optional so that MD can be built into future kernels
without buffer_head support, and so that we can eventually deprecate it.

Note this does not affect the internal bitmap support, which has none of
the problems.

When BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD is not enable, mdadm is not able to
activate new arrays unless "CREATE names=yes" appears in
mdadm.conf

As this is a regression we need to always enable BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD
for when MD is selected - at least until mdadm is updated and the
updates widely available.
