Move the headers with the local structures for the disciplines and
bitmap.h into drivers/md/ so that they are more easily grepable for
hacking and not far away. md.h is left where it is for now as there
are some uses from the outside.

This patch renames the hash_spacing and preshift members of struct
raid0_private_data to spacing and sector_shift respectively and
changes the semantics as follows:
We always have spacing = 2 * hash_spacing. In case
sizeof(sector_t) > sizeof(u32) we also have sector_shift = preshift + 1
while sector_shift = preshift = 0 otherwise.
Note that the values of nb_zone and zone are unaffected by these changes
because in the sector_div() preceeding the assignement of these two
variables both arguments double.

For the same reason as in the previous patch, rename it from zone_offset
to zone_start.

Rename zone->dev_offset to zone->dev_start to make sure all users
have been converted.

Arrays with type-1 superblock can have more than
MD_SB_DISKS, so we remove the dependancy on that number from
raid0, replacing several fixed sized arrays with one
dynamically allocated array.
|
|
To cope with a raid0 array with differing sized devices,
raid0 divides an array into "strip zones".
The first zone covers the start of all devices, upto an offset
equal to the size of the smallest device.
The second strip zone covers the remaining devices upto the size of the
next smallest size, etc.
In order to determing which strip zone a given address is in,
the array is logically divided into slices the size of the smallest
zone, and a 'hash' table is created listing the first and, if relevant,
second zone in each slice.
As the smallest slice can be very small (imagine an array with a
76G drive and a 75.5G drive) this hash table can be rather large.
With this patch, we limit the size of the hash table to one page,
at the possible cost of making several probes into the zone list
before we find the correct zone.
We also cope with the possibility that a zone could be larger than
a 32bit sector address would allow.

Compaq Smart array sector_t cleanup: prepare for possible 64-bit sector_t
Clean up loop device to allow huge backing files.
MD transition to 64-bit sector_t.
- Hold sizes and offsets as sector_t not int;
- use 64-bit arithmetic if necessary to map block-in-raid to zone
and block-in-zone
