Trivial manual merge fixup for usb_find_interface clashes.

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling
real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.

- export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait
needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests
- seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and
SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was
already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and
max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only
prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set
a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it
SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low
value to overcome memory and feedback issues.
Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024,
drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of
max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

To send async requests we need these two functions exported.

Kill the arq->state poison statement in as_add_request(), it can trigger
for perfectly valid code that just reuses a request after io completion
instead of freeing it and allocating a new one. We probably should
introduce a blk_init_request() to start from scratch, but for now just
kill it as we will be removing the as specific poisoning soon.

Some leftover comments referring to drivers/block that are now block/.
They don't add any information we don't already have, so kill them.

With generic dispatch queue update, implicit former/latter request
handling using rq->queuelist.prev/next doesn't work as expected
anymore. Also, the only iosched dependent on this feature was
noop-iosched and it has been reimplemented to have its own
latter/former methods. This patch removes implicit former/latter
handling.

The original implementation directly used dispatch queue. As new
generic dispatch queue imposes stricter rules over ioscheds and
dispatch queue usage, this direct use becomes somewhat problematic.
This patch reimplements noop-iosched such that it complies to generic
iosched model better. Request merging with q->last_merge and
rq->queuelist.prev/next work again now.

When cfq slice expires, remainder of slice is calculated and stored in
cfqq->slice_left. Current code calculates the opposite of remainder -
how many jiffies the cfqq has used past slice end. This patch fixes
the bug.

elv_iosched_store doesn't terminate string passed from userspace if
it's too long. Also, if the written length is zero (probably not
possible), it accesses elevator_name[-1]. This patch fixes both bugs.

This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of
requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which
performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether
iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error
message if it doesn't. As buggy forced dispatching can result in
wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile.

cfq forced dispatching might not return all requests on the queue.
This bug can hang elevator switchinig and corrupt request ordering
during flush sequence.

elevator_dispatch needs to run queue after forced dispatching;
otherwise, the queue might stall.

In addition to the first patch, which is probably goodness, I found the
cause of my panic - applying this patch fixes it and now I am booting.
If the chosen_elevator[] is not found, fall back to noop.

I got a panic in the elevator code, backtrace :
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000060
..
EIP is at elevator_put+0x0/0x30 (null elevator_type passed)
..
elevator_init+0x38
blk_init_queu_node+0xc9
floppy_init+0xdb
do_initcalls+0x23
init+0x10a
init+0x0
Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this
appears to be the correct fix, but I think I probably hit the second case
due to a race condition. Someone more familiar with the elevator code
should look at this more closely until I can determine if I can reproduce.

With the recent reorg of the io scheduler selection, it unfortunately
became possible to select an io scheduler to be the default even if it
wasn't builtin. Fix this by requiring the default scheduler to be
builtin.

the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/
