To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:
	open(bdev, mode)
	release(disk, mode)
	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

<title>paride: pf driver fixes</title>

The pf driver for parallel port floppy drives seems to be broken.  At least
with Imation SuperDisk with EPAT chip, the driver calls pi_connect() and
pi_disconnect after each transferred sector.  At least with EPAT, this
operation is very expensive - causes drive recalibration.  Thus, transferring
even a single byte (dd if=/dev/pf0 of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1) takes 20
seconds, making the driver useless.

The pf_next_buf() function seems to be broken as it returns 1 always (except
when pf_run is non-zero), causing the loop in do_pf_read_drq (and
do_pf_write_drq) to be executed only once.

The following patch fixes this problem.  It also fixes swapped descriptions in
pf_lock() function and removes DBMSG macro, which seems useless.

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.

pcd_lock and pf_spin_lock are passed to blk_init_queue() which, seeing them
as valid lock pointer, sets it as -&gt;queue_lock.

The problem is that pcd_lock and pf_spin_lock aren't initialized anywhere.

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
-&gt;getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
drivers this means -&gt;ioctl can go away now.

[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets -&gt;start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.
