The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the
identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than
switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce
a macro to simplify this.
Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to
DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from
the ID table will be used for .driver.name).
Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end()
wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the
'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore
when the macro gets used.
v2: Restore DRV_NAME for the driver name in xen-pciback.

The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which could
result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and it is also
a bit nicer to read.

Part of the blkdev_issue_discard(xx) operation is that it can also
issue a secure discard operation that will permanantly remove the
sectors in question. We advertise that we can support that via the
'discard-secure' attribute and on the request, if the 'secure' bit
is set, we will attempt to pass in REQ_DISCARD | REQ_SECURE.

Guard against issuing BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER or BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_CACHE
by checking whether we successfully negotiated with the backend.
The negotiation with the backend also sets the q->flush_flags which
fortunately for us is also used when submitting an bio to us. If
we don't support barriers or flushes it would be set to zero so
we should never end up having to deal with REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.
However, other third party implementations of __make_request that
might be stacked on top of us might not be so smart, so lets fix this up.

When we get -EOPNOTSUPP response for a discard request, we will clear
the discard flag on the request queue so we won't attempt to send discard
requests to backend again, and this should be protected under rq->queue_lock.
However, when we setup the request queue, we pass blkif_io_lock to
blk_init_queue so rq->queue_lock is blkif_io_lock indeed, and this lock
is already taken when we are in blkif_interrpt, so remove the
spin_lock/spin_unlock when we clear the discard flag or we will end up
with deadlock here

These were intended to avoid the namespace clash when representing
emulated IDE and SCSI devices. However that seems to confuse users
more than expected (a disk defined as sda becomes xvde).
So for now go back to the scheme which does no adjustments. This
will break when mixing IDE and SCSI names in the configuration of
guests but should be by now expected.

If the backend supports the 'feature-flush-cache' mode, use that
instead of the 'feature-barrier' support.
Currently there are three backends that support the 'feature-flush-cache'
mode: NetBSD, Solaris and Linux kernel. The 'flush' option is much
light-weight version than the 'barrier' support so lets try to use as
there are no filesystems in the kernel that use full barriers anymore.

barrier variable is int, not long. This overflow caused another variable
override: "err" (in PV code) and "binfo" (in xenlinux code -
drivers/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c). The later caused incorrect device

This patch makes sure blkfront handles correctly virtual device numbers
corresponding to Xen emulated IDE and SCSI disks: in those cases
blkfront translates the major number to XENVBD and the minor number to a
low xvd minor.
Note: this behaviour is different from what old xenlinux PV guests used
to do: they used to steal an IDE or SCSI major number and use it
instead.

REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers. What's left
at this point is:
- various checks inside the block layer.
- sanity checks in bio based drivers.
- now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
- Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
- setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
drivers.
- scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
- blktrace handling of barriers - removed. Someone who knows blktrace
better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().
blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.
All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.
* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become
ignored. The actual meaning is that it is not necessary to unplug the
emulated devices to safely use the PV ones, even if the platform does
not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add
this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is
safe).
I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

When barriers are supported, then use QUEUE_ORDERED_TAG to tell the block
subsystem that it doesn't need to do anything else with the barriers.
Previously we used ORDERED_DRAIN which caused the block subsystem to
drain all pending IO before submitting the barrier, which would be
very expensive.

We cannot read backend state within bdev operations, because it risks

Fixed by tracking deferral with a frontend switch to Closing. State

* Current blkfront_closing is rather a xlvbd_release_gendisk.
Renamed in preparation of later patches (need the name again).
* Removed the misleading comment -- this only applied to the backend
switch handler, and the queue is already flushed btw.
* Break out the xenbus call, callers know better when to switch
frontend state.

The call to del_gendisk follows an non-refcounted gd->queue
pointer. We release the last ref in blk_cleanup_queue. Fixed by
reordering releases accordingly.
