The new interface creates directories per mapped image
and under each it creates a subdir per available snapshot.
This allows keeping a cleaner interface within the sysfs
guidelines. The ABI documentation was updated too.

The recent patch to fix the removal of a non-existing proc
directory introduced this build problem for !CONFIG_PROC_FS:

drivers/block/cciss.c:4929: error: 'proc_cciss' undeclared (first use in this function)

Fix it by moving proc_cciss outside of the CONFIG_PROC_FS scope.

<title>SCSI host lock push-down</title>

Move the mid-layer's -&gt;queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd-&gt;scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

Geert, my crosstool don't produce warning below. I guess this has to do
something with compiler version.

- Geert noticed following warning during compilation.

  drivers/block/amiflop.c:1344: warning: ‘rq’ may be used uninitialized in
  this function
  drivers/block/ataflop.c:1402: warning: ‘rq’ may be used uninitialized in
  this function

- Initialize rq to NULL to fix the warning. If we can't find a suitable request
  to dispatch, this function should return NULL instead of a possibly garbage
  pointer.

- Cross compile tested only. Don't have hardware to test it.

REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers.  What's left
at this point is:

 - various checks inside the block layer.
 - sanity checks in bio based drivers.
 - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
 - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
   but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
 - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
   drivers.
 - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
   removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
 - blktrace handling of barriers - removed.  Someone who knows blktrace
   better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.
