This patch removes the possibility of having uninitialized log state if the
log device has failed.
When a mirror resumes operation, it calls 'resume' on the logging module. If
disk based logging is being used, the log device is read to fill in the log
state. If the log device has failed, we cannot simply return, because this
would leave the in-memory log state uninitialized. Instead, we assume all
regions are out-of-sync and reset the log state. Failure to do this could
result in the logging code reporting a region as in-sync, even though it
isn't; which could result in a corrupted mirror.

The call to rh_in_sync() in do_reads() should be allowed to block. It is in

With the code as it is, it is possible for oustanding clear region requests
never to get flushed when a mirror is deactivated or suspended. This means
there will always be some resync work required when a mirror is activated,
even though it may very well be in-sync.
Always requesting the flush doesn't hurt us. This is because the log tracks
whether any changes occurred and, if not, no flush is performed.

This patch adds the ability to specify desired features in the mirror
constructor/mapping table.
The first feature of interest is "handle_errors". Currently, mirroring will
ignore any I/O errors from the devices. Subsequent patches will check for
this flag and handle the errors. If flag/feature is not present, mirror will
do nothing - maintaining backwards compatibility.

the same bvec size as the original - we just need to make them big enough for

This patch replaces the single instance of kmirrord by one instance per mirror
set. This change is required to avoid a deadlock in kmirrord when the
persistent dirty log of a mirror itself resides on a mirror. The single
instance of kmirrord then issues a sync write to the dirty log in write_bits
which gets deferred to kmirrord itself later in the call chain. But kmirrord
never does the deferred work because it is still waiting for the sync
write_bits.
_mirror_sets is removed as it no longer needed, and we always flush the
workqueue before destroying it to ensure all work is complete before
destroying it.

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be used to switch off the debugging and sysfs components
of SLUB. Thus SLUB will be able to replace SLOB. SLUB can arrange objects in
a denser way than SLOB and the code size should be minimal without debugging
and sysfs support.
Note that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is materially different from CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG.
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is used to enable slab debugging in SLAB. SLUB enables
debugging via a boot parameter. SLUB debug code should always be present.
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be modified in the embedded config section.

SLUB currently assumes that the cacheline size is static. However, i386 f.e.
supports dynamic cache line size determination.
Use cache_line_size() instead of L1_CACHE_BYTES in the allocator.
That also explains the purpose of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN. So we will need to keep
that one around to allow dynamic aligning of objects depending on boot
determination of the cache line size.
