Support for controllers and disks that implement DIF protection
information:

 - During command preparation the RDPROTECT/WRPROTECT must be set
   correctly if the target has DIF enabled.

 - READ(6) and WRITE(6) are not supported when DIF is on.

 - The controller must be told how to handle the I/O via the
   protection operation field in scsi_cmnd.

 - Refactor the I/O completion code that extracts failed LBA from the
   returned sense data and handle DIF failures correctly.

 - sd_dif.c implements the functions required to prepare and complete
   requests with protection information attached.

This patch adds a new device driver to support the Virtual Fibre Channel
interface on IBM Power based servers. The Virtual I/O Server on IBM Power
servers utilizes N-Port ID Virtualization to export a Virtual Fibre Channel
adapter to the client. This driver is the client device driver.

<title>[SCSI] scsi_dh: add infrastructure for SCSI Device Handlers</title>

Some of the storage devices (that can be accessed through multiple paths),
do need some special handling for
	1. Activating the passive path of the storage access.
	2. Decode and handle the special sense codes returned by the devices.
	3. Handle the I/Os being sent to the passive path, especially
           during the device probe time.
when accessed through multiple paths.

As of today this special device handling is done at the dm-multipath
layer using dm-handlers. That works well for (1); for (2) to be handled
at dm layer, scsi sense information need to be exported from SCSI to dm-layer,
which is not very attractive; (3) cannot be done at all at the dm layer.

Device handler has been moved to SCSI mainly to handle (2) and (3) properly.

This is the code to actually support 64 bit platforms. 64 bit
DMA is enabled on both x86_32 PAE and 64 bit platforms.

This code is based in part on the unofficial adaptec 64-bit
dpt_i2o driver update that I got from Mark Salyzyn at Adaptec.

Replace the mac_esp driver with a new one based on the esp_scsi core.

For esp_scsi: add support for sync transfers for the PIO mode, add a new
esp_driver_ops method to get the maximum dma transfer size (like the old
NCR53C9x driver), and some cleanups.

We've verified that there are 64 bit and endianness problems in the
flashpoint driver.  Reverse the logic of CONFIG_OMIT_FLASHPOINT (make
it CONFIG_SCSI_FLASHPOINT) and make it depend on X86_32 so it can't
appear for any other architectures.  Long term, if someone chooses,
they could make FlashPoint 64 bit compliant (it looks like its a
question of fixing up the sizes in some of the packed descriptors)

We have several drivers that don't list SCSI as a dependency in
Kconfig.  That leads to them potentially being selected as Y even if
SCSI is M (which will produce a build failure).  Fix this by making
the if SCSI_LOWLEVEL that goes around all the drivers a tristate
forcing them all automatically to inherit the value of SCSI.
