cfq-iosched: relax IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE restrictions
Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This

class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is
requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS
opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root

This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle
part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The
modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done
while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only
criteria as well.
Move the xtime write mode seqlock into timer_tick(), so it only

These DMA drain buffer implementations in drivers are pretty horrible
to do in terms of manipulating the scatterlist. Plus they're being
done at least in drivers/ide and drivers/ata, so we now have code
duplication.
The one use case for this, as I understand it is AHCI controllers doing
PIO mode to mmc devices but translating this to DMA at the controller
level.
So, what about adding a callback to the block layer that permits the
adding of the drain buffer for the problem devices. The idea is that
you'd do this in slave_configure after you find one of these devices.
The beauty of doing it in the block layer is that it quietly adds the
drain buffer to the end of the sg list, so it automatically gets mapped
(and unmapped) without anything unusual having to be done to the
scatterlist in driver/scsi or drivers/ata and without any alteration to
the transfer length.

block: cfq: make the io contect sharing lockless
The io context sharing introduced a per-ioc spinlock, that would protect
the cfq io context lookup. That is a regression from the original, since
we never needed any locking there because the ioc/cic were process private.
The cic lookup is changed from an rbtree construct to a radix tree, which
we can then use RCU to make the reader side lockless. That is the performance
critical path, modifying the radix tree is only done on process creation
(when that process first does IO, actually) and on process exit (if that
process has done IO).
As it so happens, radix trees are also much faster for this type of
lookup where the key is a pointer. It's a very sparse tree.
