66a464dbc8 [PATCH] s390: debug feature changes
This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
to memory fragmentation.  Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
subbuffers with pagesize.  Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.

In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
implemented.  It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
new debugfs file instance.  When writing a number into this file, the trace
buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.

In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
in the "proc" filesystem.  Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
should be used for debugging purposes.  This patch moves the debug feature
from procfs to debugfs.

Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
the debug feature had to be adjusted.

This is the block device related part.  The block device operation
direct_access now has a struct block_device as first parameter.

59afda786a [PATCH] s390: dasd set online failure
dasd driver changes:
 - The feature check in dasd_generic_online returns an error if
   the devmap entry for the device is not yet available. Check
   for the feature after the device has been created.
 - Do symmetric registration/deregistration of cdev->handler.

4beb37097b [PATCH] s390: remove ioctl32 from dasdcmb

and handle the three cmb ioctls like all other dasd ioctls.

ec5883abeb [PATCH] s390: don't pad cdl blocks for write requests
The first blocks on a cdl formatted dasd device are smaller than the blocksize
of the device.  Read requests are padded with a 'e5' pattern.  Write requests
should not pad the (user) buffer with 'e5' because a write request is not
allowed to modify the buffer.

6ed93c827e [PATCH] s390: enable write barriers in the dasd driver
The DASD device driver never reorders the I/O requests and relies on the
hardware to write all data to nonvolatile storage before signaling a
successful write.  Hence, the only thing we have to do to support write
barriers is to set the queue ordered flag.

sync with the gendisk bit.

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!
