dm table: set flush capability based on underlying devices
DM has always advertised both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA flush capabilities
regardless of whether or not a given DM device's underlying devices
also advertised a need for them.
Block's flush-merge changes from 2.6.39 have proven to be more costly
for DM devices. Performance regressions have been reported even when
DM's underlying devices do not advertise that they have a write cache.
Fix the performance regressions by configuring a DM device's flushing
capabilities based on those of the underlying devices' capabilities.

dm crypt: optionally support discard requests
Add optional parameter field to dmcrypt table and support
"allow_discards" option.
Discard requests bypass crypt queue processing. Bio is simple remapped
to underlying device.
Note that discard will be never enabled by default because of security
consequences. It is up to the administrator to enable it for encrypted
devices.
(Note that userspace cryptsetup does not understand new optional
parameters yet. Support for this will come later. Until then, you
should use 'dmsetup' to enable and disable this.)
Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid. Although
not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of
RAID are unavailable. They are used to store a superblock and bitmap.
The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in
its superblock. This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping,
and sanity checks. RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order:
in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness
of the mapping when it is loaded. It can be used during reshaping to
identify which devices are added/removed. Fault handling is impossible
without this field. For example, when a device fails it is recorded in
the superblock. If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is
removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array
assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed. This
is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field
variable 'failed_devices'.

dm snapshot: skip reading origin when overwriting complete chunk
If we write a full chunk in the snapshot, skip reading the origin device

1. allocate the exception
2. dispatch the bio (but don't report the bio completion to device mapper)
3. write the exception record
4. report bio completed
Callbacks must be done through the kcopyd thread, because callbacks must not
race with each other. So we create two new functions:

dm: ignore merge_bvec for snapshots when safe
Add a new flag DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL to struct mapped_device to indicate
whether the device can accept bios larger than the size its merge
function returns. When set, use this to send large bios to snapshots
which can split them if necessary. Snapshot I/O may be significantly
fragmented and this approach seems to improve peformance.
Before the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricted bio size to page size
if the underlying device had a merge function and the target didn't
provide a merge function. After the patch, dm_set_device_limits
restricts bio size to page size if the underlying device has a merge
function, doesn't have DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL flag and the target doesn't
provide a merge function.
The snapshot target can't provide a merge function because when the merge
function is called, it is impossible to determine where the bio will be
remapped. Previously this led us to impose a 4k limit, which we can
now remove if the snapshot store is located on a device without a merge
function. Together with another patch for optimizing full chunk writes,
it improves performance from 29MB/s to 40MB/s when writing to the
filesystem on snapshot store.
If the snapshot store is placed on a non-dm device with a merge function

dm io: flush cpu cache with vmapped io
For normal kernel pages, CPU cache is synchronized by the dma layer.
However, this is not done for pages allocated with vmalloc. If we do I/O
to/from vmallocated pages, we must synchronize CPU cache explicitly.
Prior to doing I/O on vmallocated page we must call
flush_kernel_vmap_range to flush dirty cache on the virtual address.
After finished read we must call invalidate_kernel_vmap_range to
invalidate cache on the virtual address, so that accesses to the virtual
address return newly read data and not stale data from CPU cache.

possibly other architectures with caches indexed by virtual address.
