Make compat_blkdev_ioctl and blkdev_ioctl reflect the respective
native versions. This is somewhat more efficient and makes it easier
to keep the two in sync.
Also get rid of the bogus handling for broken_blkgetsize and the
duplicate entry for BLKRASET.

Remove the destroy_dirty_buffers argument from invalidate_bdev(), it hasn't
been used in 6 years (so akpm says).
find * -name \*.[ch] | xargs grep -l invalidate_bdev |
while read file; do
quilt add $file;
sed -ie 's/invalidate_bdev(\([^,]*\),[^)]*)/invalidate_bdev(\1)/g' $file;
done

Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
span the entire disk. One example are Sun partitions, and
this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
and do other things.
Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
we do not want. udev and friends can thus search for this
'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the
partition.

Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper.
If we get as far as the device-mapper ioctl handler, we know the ioctl is not
a standard block layer BLK* one, so we don't need to check for them a second
time and can call blkdev_driver_ioctl() directly.

The delete partition IOCTL takes the bd_mutex for both the disk and the
partition; these have an obvious hierarchical relationship and this patch
annotates this relationship for lockdep.

- Move capable() from sched.h to capability.h;
- Use <linux/capability.h> where capable() is used
(in include/, block/, ipc/, kernel/, a few drivers/,
mm/, security/, & sound/;
many more drivers/ to go)

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.
[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start
to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
sector size.
