Gabriel C reports lguest doesn't compile with CONFIG_BLOCK=n.  Fix this
by introducing a config var for the block device, which depends on
LGUEST &amp;&amp; BLOCK.  Do the same for the net driver, rather then depending
gratuitously on CONFIG_NET.

Add a Disk Storage Driver for the PS3:
  - Implemented as a block device driver with a dynamic major
  - Disk names (and partitions) are of the format ps3d%c(%u)
  - Uses software scatter-gather with a 64 KiB bounce buffer as the hypervisor
    doesn't support scatter-gather

This patch removes some code that became dead code after the ATARI_ACSI
removal.

It also indirectly fixes the following bug introduced by
commit c2bcf3b8978c291e1b7f6499475c8403a259d4d6:

 config ATARI_SLM
        tristate "Atari SLM laser printer support"
-       depends on ATARI &amp;&amp; ATARI_ACSI!=n
+       depends on ATARI

It hasn't been working in 2.5 or 2.6 ever, since it's still buffer_head

The BLK_DEV_SWIM_IOP driver has:
- already been marked as BROKEN in 2.6.0 three years ago and
- is still marked as BROKEN.

Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still
present in the older kernel releases.
