[patch] 4GB I/O, 2nd edition

[Jens Axboe]

Hi,

One minor bug found that would possibly oops if the SCSI pool ran out of
memory for the sg table and had to revert to a single segment request.
This should never happen, as the pool is sized after number of devices
and queue depth -- but it needed fixing anyway.

Other changes:

- Support cpqarray and cciss (two separate patches)

- Cleanup IDE DMA on/off wrt highmem

- Move run_task_queue back again in __wait_on_buffer. Need to look at
  why this hurts performance.

- Don't account front merge as sequence decrement in elevator (will not
  incur a seek)

- Dump info when highmem I/O is enabled, mainly for debugging

This version has run the cerberus hell-hound all night (IDE and SCSI),
no bugs discovered. The patches were split up even more, for easier
reading etc. It will not apply cleanly to latest 2.4.5-ac kernels, let
me know if you want a version for that...
