This is the first draft of the patches that rewrite ext4's I/O
submission paths to use the block I/O layer directly instead of using
the buffer layer.  This reduces lock contention on the block queue
submission layers, and it should reduce CPU usage significantly.

There is still some cleanup and testing to be done, but this should be
good enough for benchmarking purposes.  This patch series survives
xfstests with 4k blocks, and minimal testing with 1k blocks.
