[PATCH 00/18] ioatdma: raid5/raid6 offload support

[Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>]

The Intel(R) QuickData Technology specification version 3.2 adds support
for offloading raid parity calculations.  This patchset builds upon the
md raid6 acceleration patchset [1] and the ioatdma refactoring patchset
[2].  Beyond the new operation types and descriptor formats these raid
engines require a few changes to the current dmaengine/async_tx offload
infrastructure:
1/ v3.2 channels may prefetch descriptors which leads to later
   descriptors in the chain possibly starting their reads before earlier
   descriptors in the chain have completed their writes.  A 'fence' bit is
   specified in the descriptor to disable this optimization in case there
   are data dependencies in the chain.  Fenced operation must be explicitly
   requested at the async_tx api level. 
2/ The descriptor ring scheme of the ioatdma driver for v2+ devices
   precludes async_tx channel switching.  The scheme requires that ->prep()
   and ->submit() calls not be reordered.  To support this constraint the
   dmaengine channel allocator is modified to only return "raid" engines
   when CONFIG_ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH=y which ensures that the
   async_tx api only ever sees channels that have all the requisite
   capabilities.
3/ Raid operations must be 4-byte aligned, so per operation alignment
   checks are added to the async_tx api.

A couple user visible changes are included in this update:
1/ A 'quickdata' attribute directory is added to the sysfs path of ioatdma
   channel objects.  This allows channels with raid capabilities to be
   identified and the activity of the channel to be monitored.
2/ The ioatdma module will now be auto-loaded by the hotplug
   infrastructure.  Add "blacklist ioatdma" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to
   maintain the prior policy.

Provided the md raid6 acceleration patches [1] are accepted this
patchset will follow them into 2.6.32.
