ec8edc764e Merge branch 'delete-xt-disk' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux into for-3.9/drivers
Paul writes:

Please pull the following to get the removal of the original IBM PC-XT
hard disk driver from the block layer (drivers/block/xd.c).

As near as I can tell, it hasn't seen a run time fix in over a dozen
years, and with drive sizes of 10-20MB, and performance of about 128kB/s
maximum, it is no surprise that it has been completely unused for well
over a decade.

The removal was originally posted[1] well over a month ago, and since
then, there has been nobody objecting to the removal, aside from someone
who had mistakenly confused it with a completely different driver (hd.c)

This patch includes the device driver for the IBM RamSan
family of PCI SSD flash storage cards. This driver will

d1a6f4f197 block: delete super ancient PC-XT driver for 1980's hardware
This driver was for the 8 bit ISA cards that were installed in
the PC-XT machines of 1980 vintage.  They supported the dual
ribbon cable MFM drives of 10-20MB capacity, and ran at a 3:1
interleave, giving performance on the order of 128kB/s.

By the introduction of the PC-AT (286) these controllers were
already scrapped in favour of 16 bit controllers with some onboard
RAM that could support a 1:1 interleave.

The git history doesn't show any evidence of runtime fixes that
would reflect active usage; instead just the usual tree-wide API
type changes/cleanups.  Going back to in-source changelogs, the
last "runtime" fix that is evident is something I did over a
dozen years ago[1] -- and even back then, the hardware was long
since unavailable, so that ancient fix was also not runtime tested.

The time is long overdue for this to get flushed, so lets get
rid of it before anyone wastes more time doing builds and sparse
checks etc. on long since dead code.

2a13877c5e osdblk: a Linux block device for OSD objects
Submitted driver exports a block device of the form /dev/osdblkX,
where X is a decimal number.

It does that by mounting a stacking block device on top
of an osd object. For example, if you create a 2G object
on an OSD device, you can then use this module to present
that 2G object as a Linux block device.

See inside patch for exact documentation.

3fbed4c61a mflash: initial support
This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux.

Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer
electronic devices.

Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports 2
different operation (ATA, IO) modes.  ATA mode doesn't need any new driver
and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem.  Actually it's one
chip SSD.  IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have
IDE interface.

Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode.
A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm,
write confirm)
B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface.
C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash.

This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of
following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer.

1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol.  ATA layer have many low-
   level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule.
   But, mflash IO mode doesn't.

2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has
   some custom command and modes.  (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If
   this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered.

3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt.
   (I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for
   debug).

4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product.  Even though some company
   already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for
   standardization of custom command and mode.  That time (maybe October)
   I will talk to with ATA people.  If they accept integration, I will
   integrate.

9db5579be4 rewrite rd
This is a rewrite of the ramdisk block device driver.

The old one is really difficult because it effectively implements a block
device which serves data out of its own buffer cache.  It relies on the dirty
bit being set, to pin its backing store in cache, however there are non
trivial paths which can clear the dirty bit (eg.  try_to_free_buffers()),
which had recently lead to data corruption.  And in general it is completely
wrong for a block device driver to do this.

The new one is more like a regular block device driver.  It has no idea about
vm/vfs stuff.  It's backing store is similar to the buffer cache (a simple
radix-tree of pages), but it doesn't know anything about page cache (the pages
in the radix tree are not pagecache pages).

There is one slight downside -- direct block device access and filesystem
metadata access goes through an extra copy and gets stored in RAM twice.
However, this downside is only slight, because the real buffercache of the
device is now reclaimable (because we're not playing crazy games with it), so
under memory intensive situations, footprint should effectively be the same --
maybe even a slight advantage to the new driver because it can also reclaim
buffer heads.

The fact that it now goes through all the regular vm/fs paths makes it
much more useful for testing, too.

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   2837     849     384    4070     fe6 drivers/block/rd.o
   3528     371      12    3911     f47 drivers/block/brd.o

Text is larger, but data and bss are smaller, making total size smaller.

A few other nice things about it:
- Similar structure and layout to the new loop device handlinag.
- Dynamic ramdisk creation.
- Runtime flexible buffer head size (because it is no longer part of the
  ramdisk code).
- Boot / load time flexible ramdisk size, which could easily be extended
  to a per-ramdisk runtime changeable size (eg. with an ioctl).
- Can use highmem for the backing store.

74ee1a7590 cdrom: Add support for Sega Dreamcast GD-ROM.
This patch adds support for the GD-Rom drive, SEGA's proprietary
implementation of an IDE CD Rom for the SEGA Dreamcast. This driver
implements Sega's Packet Interface (SPI) - at least partially. It will
also read disks in SEGA's propreitary GD format.

Unlike previous drivers (which were never in mainline) this uses DMA and
not PIO to read disks. It is a new driver, not a refactoring of old
drivers.

e467cde238 Block driver using virtio.
The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector
and inbuf id.  The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last
sg is the status byte.  Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
whether it's a read or a write.

We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported.  It's
not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().

Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace.  This needs a separate
patch.

928923c76b Introduce CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE
Introduce CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE to control inclusion of check_signature()
and avoid problems on platforms that don't have readb().

Let the few legacy (ISA || PCI || X86) drivers that need check_signature()
select CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE.

f057eac0d7 Introduce CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS
Make some offending drivers depend on it and set CONFIG_ARCH_NO_VIRT_TO_BUS
for ppc64 so that we don't build those drivers.

This gets PowerPC allmodconfig and allyesconfig much closer to building.

56a68a500f more ACSI removal
This patch removes some code that became dead code after the ATARI_ACSI
removal.

It also indirectly fixes the following bug introduced by
commit c2bcf3b897:

 config ATARI_SLM
        tristate "Atari SLM laser printer support"
-       depends on ATARI && ATARI_ACSI!=n
+       depends on ATARI
