Al Viro d4430d62fa [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion 
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:
	open(bdev, mode)
	release(disk, mode)
	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

	This work was made possible by 

Red Hat Software
	Funding for the Building #3 part of the project

	compatibility problems

STATUS:

o	The core setup works within limits.
o	The scsi layer seems to almost work. 
           I'm still chasing down the hang bug.
o	The block OSM is mostly functional
o	LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards.

TO DO:

General:
o	Provide hidden address space if asked
o	Long term message flow control
o	PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
o	Push FAIL handling into the core
o	DDM control interfaces for module load etc
o       Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel)

Block:
o	Multiple major numbers
o	Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people
o	Power management
o	Finish Media changers

SCSI:
o	Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses

Lan:	
o	Performance tuning
o	Test Fibre Channel code

Tape:
o	Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
           (D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
