This patch contains DST core files, which introduce
block layer, connector and sysfs registration glue and main headers.

Connector is used for the configuration of the node (its type, address,
device name and so on). Sysfs provides bits of information about running
devices in the following format:

+/*
+ * DST sysfs tree for device called 'storage':
+ *
+ * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/
+ * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/type : 192.168.4.80:1025
+ * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/size : 800
+ * /sys/bus/dst/devices/storage/name : storage
+ */

DST header contains structure definitions and protocol command description.

The netlink connector uses its own workqueue to relay the datas sent
from userspace to the appropriate callback.  If you launch the test
from Documentation/connector and change it a bit to send a high flow
of data, you will see thousands of events coming to the "cqueue"
workqueue by looking at the workqueue tracer.

This flow of events can be sent very quickly. So, to not encumber the
kevent workqueue and delay other jobs, the "cqueue" workqueue should
remain.

But this workqueue is pointless most of the time, it will always be
created (assuming you have built it of course) although only
developpers with specific needs will use it.

So avoid this "most of the time useless task", this patch proposes to
create this workqueue only when needed once.  The first jobs to be
sent to connector callbacks will be sent to kevent while the "cqueue"
thread creation will be scheduled to kevent too.

The following jobs will continue to be scheduled to keventd until the
cqueue workqueue is created, and then the rest of the jobs will
continue to perform as usual, through this dedicated workqueue.

Each time I tested this patch, only the first event was sent to
keventd, the rest has been sent to cqueue which have been created
quickly.

Also, this patch fixes some trailing whitespaces on the connector files.

- 'cb' is a fake struct member. In a previous patch struct cn_callback
was renamed to cn_callback_id, so 'cb' should have been deleted at that
time.

- 'nls' isn't used and is redundant, we can retrieve this data through
cn_callback_entry.pdev->nls.

- 'seq' and 'group' should be u32, as they are declared to be u32 in
other places.

This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.

The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.

Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.

This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.

Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.

EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.
