When dm_table_set_type() is used by a target to establish a DM table's
type (e.g. DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED in the case of DM multipath) the
DM core must go on to verify that the devices in the table are
compatible with the established type.

<title>dm table: fix 'all_blk_mq' inconsistency when an empty table is loaded</title>

An earlier DM multipath table could have been build ontop of underlying
devices that were all using blk-mq.  In that case, if that active
multipath table is replaced with an empty DM multipath table (that
reflects all paths have failed) then it is important that the
'all_blk_mq' state of the active table is transfered to the new empty DM
table.  Otherwise dm-rq.c:dm_old_prep_tio() will incorrectly clone a
request that isn't needed by the DM multipath target when it is to issue
IO to an underlying blk-mq device.

dm_get_target_type() was previously called so any error returned from
dm_table_add_target() must first call dm_put_target_type().  Otherwise
the DM target module's reference count will leak and the associated
kernel module will be unable to be removed.

Also, leverage the fact that r is already -EINVAL and remove an extra
newline.

Change mapped device to implement direct_access function,
dm_blk_direct_access(), which calls a target direct_access function.
'struct target_type' is extended to have target direct_access interface.
This function limits direct accessible size to the dm_target's limit
with max_io_len().

Add dm_table_supports_dax() to iterate all targets and associated block
devices to check for DAX support.  To add DAX support to a DM target the
target must only implement the direct_access function.

Add a new dm type, DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED, which indicates that mapped
device supports DAX and is bio based.  This new type is used to assure
that all target devices have DAX support and remain that way after
QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is set in mapped device.

At initial table load, QUEUE_FLAG_DAX is set to mapped device when setting
DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED to the type.  Any subsequent table load to the
mapped device must have the same type, or else it fails per the check in
table_load().

<title>dm mpath: add optional "queue_mode" feature</title>

<content type='text'>
Allow a user to specify an optional feature 'queue_mode &lt;mode&gt;' where
&lt;mode&gt; may be "bio", "rq" or "mq" -- which corresponds to bio-based,
request_fn rq-based, and blk-mq rq-based respectively.

If the queue_mode feature isn't specified the default for the
"multipath" target is still "rq" but if dm_mod.use_blk_mq is set to Y
it'll default to mode "mq".

This new queue_mode feature introduces the ability for each multipath
device to have its own queue_mode (whereas before this feature all
multipath devices effectively had to have the same queue_mode).

This commit also goes a long way to eliminate the awkward (ab)use of
DM_TYPE_*, the associated filter_md_type() and other relatively fragile
and difficult to maintain code.

Add some seperation between bio-based and request-based DM core code.

'struct mapped_device' and other DM core only structures and functions
have been moved to dm-core.h and all relevant DM core .c files have been
updated to include dm-core.h rather than dm.h

DM targets should _never_ include dm-core.h!
