This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.
This import is based on my latest from -mm.

__elv_add_request(). rq.count[READ] + rq.count[WRITE] can increase
more than one if another thread has allocated a request after the
current request is allocated or in_flight could have changed resulting
in larger-than-one change of nrq, thus breaking the threshold
mechanism.

This is the reworked version of the patch. It sets REQ_SOFTBARRIER
in two places - in elv_next_request() on BLKPREP_DEFER and in
blk_requeue_request().

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!
