\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Add blk_rq_map_kern which takes a kernel buffer and maps it into a request and bio. This can be used by the dm hw_handlers, old sg_scsi_ioctl, and one day scsi special requests so all requests comming into scsi will have bios. All requests having bios should allow scsi to use scatter lists for all IO and allow it to use block layer functions. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

\|/ / \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Jens: ->bi_set is totally unnecessary bloat of struct bio. Just define a proper destructor for the bio and it already knows what bio_set it belongs too. Peter: Fixed the bugs.

\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Fix bug introduced in 2.6.11-rc2: when we clone a BIO we need to copy over the current index into it as well. It corrupts data with some MD setups. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4946 Huuuuuuuuge thanks to Matthew Stapleton <matthew4196@gmail.com> for doggedly chasing this one down.

* \|	[PATCH] mostly_read data section	Christoph Lameter	2005-07-07	1	-1/+1
\|/ \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc. If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated. In that case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables. The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing performance.

	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!
