A pending cleanup will mean that module.h won't be implicitly
everywhere anymore.  Make sure the modular drivers in md dir
are actually calling out for &lt;module.h&gt; explicitly in advance.

The typedefs are just annoying. 'mdk' probably refers to 'md_k.h'
which used to be an include file that defined this thing.

<title>block: remove support for bio remapping from -&gt;make_request</title>

There is very little benefit in allowing to let a -&gt;make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.

Note that various drivers got the return value from -&gt;make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.

bio_clone and bio_alloc allocate from a common bio pool.
If an md device is stacked with other devices that use this pool, or under
something like swap which uses the pool, then the multiple calls on
the pool can cause deadlocks.

So allocate a local bio pool for each md array and use that rather
than the common pool.

This pool is used both for regular IO and metadata updates.
