NOTE!

This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block
tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()'
function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple
merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the
mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option.

To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the
mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of
this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits
which do not compile.

In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the
upstream tree, and the fixup patch.

Add a new background method into mtd_blktrans_ops, add background support
into mtd_blktrans_thread(), and add mtd_blktrans_cease_background().

If the mtd blktrans dev has the background support, the thread will
call background function when the request queue becomes empty. The background
operation may run as long as needs to until
mtd_blktrans_cease_background() tells to stop.

This patch adds an ability to export sysfs attributes below
the block disk device.

This can be used to pass the udev an information about the FTL
and could include the vendor, serial, version, etc...

* Add locking where it was missing.

* Don't do a get_mtd_device in blktrans_open because it would lead to a
  deadlock; instead do that in add_mtd_blktrans_dev.

* Only free the mtd_blktrans_dev structure when the last user exits.

* Flush request queue on device removal.

* Track users, and call tr->release in del_mtd_blktrans_dev
  Due to that ->open and release aren't called more that once.

Now it is safe to call del_mtd_blktrans_dev while the device is still in use.

This is the biggest change. To make hotplug possible, and this layer 
clean, the mtd_blktrans_dev now contains everything for a single mtd 
block translation device. Also removed some very old leftovers.

Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS.

This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS
keywords from the MTD code.

This also includes code that printed them to the user.

Currently, mtd_blkdevs enforces a block size of 512, even if the drivers
can seemingly request a different size. This patch fixes mtd_blkdevs so
block sizes other than 512 work correctly.

Semaphore to mutex conversion.

The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
automatically via a script as well.
