This patch adds support for REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS. This is used
eg for the multipathing priority callout to determine the path
priority.
With this patch multipath-tools can use the existing mpath_prio_alua
callout to exercise the path priority grouping.

 - Replace scsi_device_types array API with scsi_device_type function API.
   Gets rid of a lot of common code, as well as being easier to use.
 - Add the new device types in SPC4 r05a, and rename some of the older ones.
 - Reformat the printing of inquiry data; now fits on one line and
   includes PQ.

I think I've addressed all the feedback from the previous versions.  My
current test box prints:

scsi 2:0:1:0: Direct access     HP 18.2G ATLAS10K3_18_SCA HP05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

In order to use the new execute_in_process_context() API, you have to
provide it with the work storage, which I do in SCSI in scsi_device and
scsi_target, but which also means that we can no longer queue up the
target reaps, so instead I moved the target to a state model which
allows target_alloc to detect if we've received a dying target and wait
for it to be gone.  Hopefully, this should also solve the target
namespace race.

We have several points in the SCSI stack (primarily for our device
functions) where we need to guarantee process context, but (given the
place where the last reference was released) we cannot guarantee this.

This API gets around the issue by executing the function directly if
the caller has process context, but scheduling a workqueue to execute
in process context if the caller doesn't have it.  Unfortunately, it
requires memory allocation in interrupt context, but it's better than
what we have previously.  The true solution will require a bit of
re-engineering, so isn't appropriate for 2.6.16.

When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes
crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to
let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given
transport class.

When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.

So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning.  As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.

For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to
synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely
unsynchronized which seems wrong.
