On setups with many disks, we spend a considerable amount of time
looking up the process-disk mapping on each queue of io. Testing with
a NULL based block driver, this costs 40-50% reduction in throughput
for 1000 disks.

Modify well over a dozen mempool users to call mempool_create_slab_pool()
rather than calling mempool_create() with extra arguments, saving about 30
lines of code and increasing readability.

We don't need to pin ->key down; ->cfqq->cfqd will do that for us.
Incidentally, that stops the leak we had - that reference was never
dropped.

If somebody does a hash lookup for cfq_queue while ioprio of an async queue
is elevated, they shouldn't end up stuck with lowered ioprio when we go back.
Fix is to use ->org_ioprio{,class} in hash lookups.

During testing of SLES10, we encountered a hang in the CFQ io scheduler.
Turns out the deferred slice expiry logic is buggy, so remove that for
now. We could be left with an idle queue that would never wake up. So
kill that logic, always expire immediately. Also fix a potential timer
race condition.
Patch looks bigger than it is, because it moves a function.

the patch below marks various read-only variables in block/* as const,
so that gcc can optimize the use of them; eg gcc will replace the use by
the value directly now and will even remove the memory usage of these.

Some leftover comments referring to drivers/block that are now block/.
They don't add any information we don't already have, so kill them.

When cfq slice expires, remainder of slice is calculated and stored in
cfqq->slice_left. Current code calculates the opposite of remainder -
how many jiffies the cfqq has used past slice end. This patch fixes
the bug.

cfq forced dispatching might not return all requests on the queue.
This bug can hang elevator switchinig and corrupt request ordering
during flush sequence.

drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move
the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/
related block parts to block/ next.
