a144ff09bc xen: Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path
Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path by
preventing the allocations from doing IO and allowing them
to access the emergency pools.

These paths are used when a frontend device is trying to connect
to its backend driver over Xenbus.  These reconnections are triggered
on demand by IO, so by definition there is already IO underway,
and further IO would naturally deadlock.  On resume, this path
is triggered when the running system tries to continue using its
devices.  If it cannot then the resume will fail; to try to avoid this
we let it dip into the emergency pools.

440a01a7f4 xen/blkfront: Add the CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY ioctl to blkfront.
Return 0 instead of -EINVAL if the blkfront device is a cdrom,
i.e. had the VDISK_CDROM attribute.  This allows udev's cdrom_id
to correctly detect the device as a cdrom device.

[ Add blkif_ioctl, and CDROMMULTISESSION ]

4f93f09b72 xen: Add compatibility aliases for frontend drivers
Before getting merged, xen-blkfront was xenblk and
xen-netfront was xennet.

Temporarily adding compatibility module aliases
eases upgrades from older versions by e.g. allowing
mkinitrd to find the new version of the module.

1d78d70556 xen blkfront: Delay wait for block devices until after the disk is added
When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load
is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend
become connected rather than when the disk is added.

This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and
loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all
in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the
scan for physical volumes is complete.

3e334239d8 xen: Make xen-blkfront write its protocol ABI to xenstore
Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore.  Since
the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work
fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to
the backend's native ABI.  This is not the case for xen-blkfront
running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and
thus needs this fix.

597592d951 xen: Implement getgeo for Xen virtual block device.
The below implements the getgeo hook for Xen block devices. Extracted
from the xen-unstable tree where it has been used for ages.

It is useful to have because it allows things like grub2 (used by the
Debian installer images) to work in a guest domain without having to
sprinkle Xen specific hacks around the place.

5705f70217 Introduce rq_for_each_segment replacing rq_for_each_bio
Every usage of rq_for_each_bio wraps a usage of
bio_for_each_segment, so these can be combined into
rq_for_each_segment.

We define "struct req_iterator" to hold the 'bio' and 'index' that
are needed for the double iteration.
