This forces in_flight to be zero when turning off or on the I/O stat
accounting and stops updating I/O stats in attempt_merge() when
accounting is turned off.

This makes sure that we never wait on async IO for sync requests, instead
of doing the split on writes vs reads.

This allows us to turn off disk stat accounting completely, for the cases
where the 0.5-1% reduction in system time is important.

For some devices (i.e. CFA ATA) we can't reliably detect whether
the device is of rotational or non-rotational type so we need to
leave the final decision about this setting to the user-space.
As a bonus do a minor CodingStyle fixup in queue_nomerges_store().

There's no need to take queue_lock or kernel_lock when modifying
bdi->ra_pages. So remove them. Also remove out of date comment for
queue_max_sectors_store().

This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of
either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export
a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper
(bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask
for completion on that specific CPU.
In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much
as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired.
This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only
work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp
helper infrastructure.

Implement {disk|part}_to_dev() and use them to access generic device
instead of directly dereferencing {disk|part}->dev. To make sure no
user is left behind, rename generic devices fields to __dev.
This is in preparation of unifying partition 0 handling with other
partitions.

Concurrency isn't a big deal here since we have requests in flight
at this point, but do the locked variant to set a better example.

The block I/O + elevator + I/O scheduler code spend a lot of time trying
to merge I/Os -- rightfully so under "normal" circumstances. However,
if one were to know that the incoming I/O stream was /very/ random in
nature, the cycles are wasted.
This patch adds a per-request_queue tunable that (when set) disables
merge attempts (beyond the simple one-hit cache check), thus freeing up
a non-trivial amount of CPU cycles.

blk_register_queue() returns -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL. But there
are some block drivers that call blk_register_queue() via add_disk() with
queue->request_fn == NULL. (For example, brd, loop)
Although no one checks return value of blk_register_queue(), this patch makes
it return 0 instead of -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL,
Also this patch adds warning when blk_register_queue() and
blk_unregister_queue() are called with queue == NULL rather than ignore
invalid usage silently.
