This patch just removes infrastructure that provided support for hardware
handlers in the dm layer as it is not needed anymore.

This patch allows a failed path group initialisation command to be retried.
It adds a generic MP_RETRY flag and a "pg_init_retries" feature to
device-mapper multipath which limits the number of retries.
1. A hw handler sends a path initialization command to the storage and
the command completes with an error code indicating the command
should be retried.
2. The hardware handler calls dm_pg_init_complete() with MP_RETRY
set in err_flags to ask the dm multipath core to retry.
3. If the retry limit has not been exceeded, pg_init() is retried.
Otherwise fail_path() is called.
If you are using the userspace multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath
package, you can set pg_init_retries in the 'device' section of your
/etc/multipath.conf file. For example:
features "2 pg_init_retries 7"
The number of PG retries attempted is reported in the 'dmsetup status' output.

Make the mapped device structure accessible to hardware handlers so error
messages can include the device name.

Rename DM's struct path to struct dm_path to prevent name collision between it
and struct path from fs/namei.c.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
