Make use of the stored copy of format 1 channel-path data instead
of querying the information every time the corresponding function
is called.

<title>[S390] cio: provide fake irb for transport mode IO</title>

If a driver wants to do command mode IO while CIO is doing
online path verification we ignore this request and provide
a fake irb when we are done and the driver can do IO again.

For transport mode IO we have no such mechanism, giving the
driver no other chance then to retry the action until we are
done. This is not very reliable.

Provide a fake irb for transport mode IO as well.

<title>[S390] cio: disallow driver io for known to be broken paths</title>

<content type='text'>
When a driver requests to do IO, we will adjust the mask of
paths to be used to exclude varied offline paths.

Drivers trying to do IO solely on paths which are online but some
way defective may lack the information to do proper error handling.

There is no reason to allow the usage of known to be broken paths.
Thus restrict the paths a ccw driver can use for IO to a subset of
the paths cio found usable (this also excludes offline paths).

An Unconditional Reserve + Release operation (steal lock) for a
boxed device may fail when encountering special error cases
(e.g. unit checks or path errors). Fix this by using the more
robust ccw_request infrastructure for performing the steal lock
CCW program.
