[1] block: replace barrier with sequenced flush [2] block: convert to REQ_FLUSH/FUA [3] replace barriers with explicit flush / FUA usage Changes from the previous postings are, * Rebased on top of 2.6.36-rc2 (502adf5778f4151dcba3f64dd6ed322151f3712c) * Acked/Reviewed-by's added. * ide-remove-unnecessary-blk_queue_flushing-test-in-do_ide_request patch added which removes blk_queue_flushing(). * BH flags, which are no longer necessary on 2.6.36-rc2, are dropped from fs-block-propagate-REQ_FLUSH-FUA-interface-to-upper-layers and the patch is collapsed into block-implement-REQ_FLUSH-FUA-based-interface-for-FLUSH-FUA-requests. * block-filter-flush-bio-s-in-__generic_make_request added. This makes sure make_request based drivers which don't implement cache flushes don't see REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests. * block-simplify-queue_next_fseq added. * REQ_FUA support dropped from virtio/lguest conversion as suggested by Christoph. * md conversion updated as suggested by Neil Brown. * dm conversion is excluded for now. * block-remove-the-BLKDEV_IFL_BARRIER-flag patch now also removes DISCARD_SECURE. * block-remove-the-write-barrier-flag patch excluded for now (pending on dm conversion). I've audited all make_request drivers and after this patchset only blktrace, dm, drbd and xen need more work. I'll work on blktrace and dm but leave xen and drbd for the respective maintainers. Build tested w/ allmodconfig and lightly tested w/ ext4 and xfs.
