Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device
error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just
access the same device but from a different path.
This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors.
The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to
fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask
to fast fail on all errors.
Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit
is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast
bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers
like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check
for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert
scsi.

The class_device->device conversion is causing an oops in revalidate
because it's assuming that the device_for_each_child iterator will only
return struct scsi_device children. The conversion made all former
class_devices children of the device as well, so this assumption is
broken. Fix it.

This conversion makes full use of the is_visible() callback on attribute
groups. Now, each device appears only with its capability flags in the
transport class directory. Previously each device appeared with the
capability of the host, so this is a functionality improvement.
Converting to attribute groups allows us to sweep away most of the home
grown #defines that were effectively doing the same thing.

Domain Validation in the SPI transport class is failing on boxes with
damaged cables (and failing to the extent that the box hangs). The
problem is that the first test it does is a cable integrity test for
wide transfers and if this fails, it turns the wide bit off. The
problem is that the next set of tests it does turns wide back on
again, with the result that it runs through the entirety of DV with a
known bad setting and then hangs the system.
The attached patch fixes the problem by physically nailing the wide
setting to what it deduces it should be for the whole of Domain
Validation.

The code does this:
unsigned char sense[SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE];
...
scsi_normalize_sense(sense, sizeof(*sense), sshdr)
however the sizeof will return 1 not 96 which means the sense data will
have no valid ASC/ASCQ values. Fix by putting the correct sense size.
The only affected case for this would have been the DV buffer sanity
check failure, which is fortunately quite rare.

Some SCSI devices apparently get very confused if we try to use the
echo buffer on a non-DT negotiated bus (this mirrors the problems of
using PPR on non-LVD for some devices). The fix is to be far more
conservative about when we use an echo buffer. With this patch, we'll
now see what parameters are negotiated by the read only test, and only
look for an echo buffer if DT is negotiated.

This should eliminate (at least in the mid layer) to make numeric
assumptions about any of the enumeration variables. As a side effect,
it will also make all the messages consistent and line us up nicely for
the error logging strategy (if it ever shows itself again).

This one's slightly more difficult. The transport class uses
REQ_FAILFAST, so another interface (scsi_execute) had to be invented to
take the extra flag. Also, the sense functions are shifted around to
allow spi_execute to place data directly into a struct scsi_sense_hdr.
With this change, there's probably a lot of unnecessary sense buffer
allocation going on which we can fix later.

I recently tried to construct a totally generic transport class and
found there were certain features missing from the current abstract
transport class. Most notable is that you have to hang the data on the
class_device but most of the API is framed in terms of the generic
device, not the class_device.
These changes are two fold
- Provide the class_device to all of the setup and configure APIs
- Provide and extra API to take the device and the attribute class and
return the corresponding class_device

This parameter is important only to people who take the time to tune the
margin control settings, otherwise it's completely irrelevant. However,
just in case anyone should want to do this, it's appropriate to include
the parameter.
I don't do anything with it in DV by design, so the parameter will come
up as off by default, so if anyone actually wants to play with the
margin control settings they'll have to enable it under the
spi_transport class first.
I also updated the transfer settings display to report all of the PPR
settings instead of only DT, IU and QAS

There's a basic need not to have parameters go under or over certain
values when doing domain validation. The basic ones are
max_offset, max_width and min_period
This patch makes the transport class take and enforce these three
limits. Currently they can be set by the user, although they could
obviously be read from the HBA's on-board NVRAM area during
slave_configure (if it has one).

The premise is that domain validation is likely to trigger errors which
it wants to know about, so the only time it should be retrying them is
when it gets a unit attention (likely as the result of a previous bus or
device reset). Ironically, the previous coding retried three times in
all cases except those of unit attention. The attached fixes this to do
the right thing.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,

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.
