Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM. This has the following
benefits:
- the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on
every ioctl()
- the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the
KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from
userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived
from the fd used to make the call
Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we
don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware
inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects. But
both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today.

This avoids having filp->f_op and the corresponding inode->i_fop different,
which is a little unorthodox.
The ioctl list is split into two: global kvm ioctls and per-vm ioctls. A new
ioctl, KVM_CREATE_VM, is used to create VMs and return the VM fd.

If you'll recall, over a year ago, I pointed out that the current
Radeon driver erroneously returns -EINVAL for valid blanking codes,
here is a link to that thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/28/6
No other driver does this, and it confuses the X server into thinking
that the device does not support blanking properly.
I looked again and there is simply no reason for the Radeon driver to
return -EINVAL for FB_BLANK_NORMAL. It claims it wants to do this in
order to convince fbcon to blank in software, right here:
if (fb_blank(info, blank))
fbcon_generic_blank(vc, info, blank);
to software blank the screen. But it only causes that to happen
in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case.
That makes no sense because the Radeon code does this:
val |= CRTC_DISPLAY_DIS;
in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case so should be blanking the hardware, and
there is therefore no reason to SW blank by returning -EINVAL.

We mistakedly modify 'bus' in the innermost loop. What
should happen is that at each register index iteration,
we start with the same 'bus'.
So preserve it's value at the top level, and use a loop
local variable 'dbus' for iteration.
This bug causes registers other than the first to be
decoded improperly.

2.6.21-rc has horrible problems with libata and PATA cable types (and
thus speeds). This occurs because Tejun fixed a pile of other bugs and
we now do cable detect enforcement for drive side detection properly.
Unfortunately we don't do the process around cable detection right. Tejun
identified the problem and pointed to the right Annex in the spec, this patch
implements the needed changes.
The basic requirement is that we have to identify the slave before the
master.
The patch switches the identify order so that we can do the drive side
detection correctly.

The initial simplex handling code is fooled if you suspend and resume.
This also causes problems with some single channel controllers which
claim to be simplex.
The fix is fairly simple, instead of keeping a flag to remember if we
gave away the simplex channel we remember the actual owner. As the owner
is always part of the host_set we don't even need a refcount.
Knowing the owner also means we can reassign simplex DMA channels in
future hotplug code etc if we need to
