<title>powerpc/ps3: make system bus's remove and shutdown callbacks return void</title>

The driver core ignores the return value of struct device_driver::remove
because there is only little that can be done. For the shutdown callback
it's ps3_system_bus_shutdown() which ignores the return value.

To simplify the quest to make struct device_driver::remove return void,
let struct ps3_system_bus_driver::remove return void, too. All users
already unconditionally return 0, this commit makes it obvious that
returning an error code is a bad idea and ensures future users behave
accordingly.

The problem originates from setting the segment boundary of the
request queue to -1UL. This makes get_max_segment_size() return zero
when offset is zero, whatever the max segment size. The test with
BLK_SEG_BOUNDARY_MASK fails and 'mask - (mask &amp; offset) + 1' overflows
to zero in the return statement.

Not setting the segment boundary and using the default
value (BLK_SEG_BOUNDARY_MASK) fixes the problem.

<title>block: remove CONFIG_LBDAF</title>

Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit
architectures.  These types are required to support block device and/or
file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for
a long time.  Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig
size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use
64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway,
so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either.

Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that
has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used.

Update device_add_disk() to take an 'groups' argument so that
individual drivers can register a device with additional sysfs
attributes.
This avoids race condition the driver would otherwise have if these
groups were to be created with sysfs_add_groups().

The ps3disk driver already kmaps all pages when copying from/to the
internal bounce buffer, so it can accept highmem pages just fine.

<title>block: introduce new block status code type</title>

<id>2a842acab109f40f0d7d10b38e9ca88390628996</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.
