[PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer

[David Howells]

Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE, the old CDROM
     	 drivers and USB storage.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Made most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places.

 (*) The contents of linux/blktrace_api.h are contingent now on CONFIG_BLOCK in
     addition to CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE, possibly unnecessarily.

 (*) Also contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts
     of linux/fs.h.

 (*) The contents of a number of filesystem- and blockdev-specific header files
     are now contingent on their own configuration options.  This includes:
     Ext3/JBD, RAID, MSDOS and ReiserFS.

 (*) Made a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Moved some stuff out of fs/buffer.c:

     (*) The file sync and general sync stuff moved to fs/sync.c.

     (*) The superblock sync stuff moved to fs/super.c.

     (*) do_invalidatepage() moved to mm/truncate.c.

     (*) try_to_release_page() moved to mm/filemap.c.

 (*) Moved some stuff between header files:

     (*) declarations for do_invalidatepage() and try_to_release_page() moved
     	 to linux/mm.h.

     (*) __set_page_dirty_buffers() moved to linux/buffer_head.h.

 (*) The duplicate declaration of exit_io_context() has been removed from
     linux/sched.h.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fallback_migrate_page() uses PagePrivate() instead of page_has_buffers().

 (*) The bounce buffer stuff moved from mm/highmem.c to mm/bounce.c, which is
     contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

     !!!NOTE!!! There may be a bug in this code: Should init_emergency_pool()
     		be contingent on CONFIG_HIGHMEM?

 (*) The AFS filesystem specifies block_sync_page() as its sync_page address
     op, which needs to be checked, and so is commented out.

 (*) The bdev_cache_init() extern declaration was moved from fs/dcache.c to
     linux/blkdev.h.

 (*) The blockdev_superblock extern declaration was moved from
     fs/fs-writeback.c to linux/blkdev.h.

 (*) fs/fs-writeback.c no longer depends on blockdev_superblock to be present.

 (*) fs/no-block.c was incorporated to hold a couple of things for when
     CONFIG_BLOCK was not set:

     (*) A version generic_writepages(), which is used by NFS.  This is derived
     	 from mpage_writepages() with all the BIO references removed.

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Some compat ioctl handling is now contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.
