Add support to ibmvscsi for the capabilities MAD. This command gets sent
to the Virtual I/O server prior to login in order to communicate client
capabilities. Additionally it returns information regarding capabilities
that the server supports. The two main capabilities communicated in this
MAD are related to partition migration and client reserve. Client reserve
allows for SCSI-2 reservations to be sent to virtual disks which are backed
by physical LUNs and will result in the reservation being sent to the
physical LUN.

Enable the driver to function in a Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO)
environment.
The following changes are made to enable the driver for CMO:
* DMA mapping errors will not result in error messages if entitlement has
been exceeded and resources were not available.
* The driver has a get_desired_dma function defined to function
in a CMO environment. It will indicate how much IO memory it would like
to function.

If you build a multiplatform kernel for iSeries and pSeries, with
ibmvscsic support, the resulting client doesn't work on iSeries.
This fixes that, using the appropriate low-level operations
for the machine detected at runtime.

Adds an eh_host_reset_handler to ibmvscsi which resets the connection
to the vscsi server. This patch also adds a timer to internally
issues commands to prevent client hangs in the case of a misbehaving
server. Tested by modifying the VIOS such that it would occasionally
drop one or more request in sequence.

The request limit calculations used previously on the client failed to
mirror the state of the server. Additionally, when a value < 3 was provided
there could be problems setting can_queue and handling abort and reset
commands.

New versions of the Power5 firmware can send a "re-enable" message to
the virtual scsi adapter. This fix makes us handle the message
correctly. Without it, the driver goes catatonic and the system crashes
unpleasantly.

This makes ibmvscsi work correctly with the recent set of kexec
patches that went in. This is based on work by Michael Ellerman, who
chased this initially. He validated that it works during kexec.
Handle kexec correctly in ibmvscsi. During kexec the adapter
will not get cleaned up correctly, so we may need to reset it
to make it sane again.

The maximum size of a scatter-gather list that the current IBM VSCSI
Client can handle is 10. This patch adds large scatter-gather support
to the client so that it is capable of handling up to SG_ALL(255)
number of requests in the scatter-gather list.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
