[BLOCK] Move all core block layer code to new block/ directory

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.

+ *    to blk_queue_make_request().
+ *
+ * Caveat:
+ *    The driver that does this *must* be able to deal appropriately
+ *    with buffers in "highmemory". This can be accomplished by either calling

+ *    Plugged queues are generally unplugged when a buffer belonging to one
+ *    of the requests on the queue is needed, or due to memory pressure.
+ *
+ *    @rfn is not required, or even expected, to remove all requests off the

+ *    Typically we use the tail for new ioctls and so forth.  We use the head
+ *    of the queue for things like a QUEUE_FULL message from a device, or a
