 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

The bitmap code used to have two daemons, so there is some 'common' start/stop
code.  But now there is only one, so the common code is just noise.

This patch tidies this up somewhat.

If a device is flagged 'WriteMostly' and the array has a bitmap, and the
bitmap superblock indicates that write_behind is allowed, then write_behind is
enabled for WriteMostly devices.

Write requests will be acknowledges as complete to the caller (via b_end_io)
when all non-WriteMostly devices have completed the write, but will not be
cleared from the bitmap until all devices complete.

This requires memory allocation to make a local copy of the data being
written.  If there is insufficient memory, then we fall-back on normal write
semantics.

Both file-bitmaps and superblock bitmaps are supported.

If you add a bitmap file on the array device, you lose.

This introduces a 'default_bitmap_offset' field in mddev, as the ioctl used
for adding a superblock bitmap doesn't have room for giving an offset.  Later,
this value will be setable via sysfs.

<title>[PATCH] md: yet another attempt to get bitmap-based resync to do the right thing in all cases...</title>

Firstly, R1BIO_Degraded was being set in a number of places in the resync
code, but is never used there, so get rid of those settings.

Then: When doing a resync, we want to clear the bit in the bitmap iff the
array will be non-degraded when the sync has completed.  However the current
code would clear the bitmap if the array was non-degraded when the resync
*started*, which obviously isn't right (it is for 'resync' but not for
'recovery' - i.e.  rebuilding a failed drive).

This patch calculated 'still_degraded' and uses the to tell bitmap_start_sync
whether this sync should clear the corresponding bit.

We need to be careful differentiating between a resync of a complete array,
in which we can clear the bitmap, and a resync of a degraded array, in
which we cannot.

This patch cleans all that up.
