async_syndrome_val check the P and Q blocks used for RAID6
calculations.
With DDF raid6, some of the data blocks might be NULL, so
this needs to be handled in the same way that async_gen_syndrome
handles it.

As async_syndrome_val calls async_xor, also enhance async_xor
to detect and skip NULL blocks in the list.

md/raid6 passes a list of 'struct page *' to the async_tx routines,
which then either DMA map them for offload, or take the page_address
for CPU based calculations.

For RAID6 we sometime leave 'blanks' in the list of pages.
For CPU based calcs, we want to treat theses as a page of zeros.
For offloaded calculations, we simply don't pass a page to the
hardware.

Currently the 'blanks' are encoded as a pointer to
raid6_empty_zero_page.  This is a 4096 byte memory region, not a
'struct page'.  This is mostly handled correctly but is rather ugly.

So change the code to pass and expect a NULL pointer for the blanks.
When taking page_address of a page, we need to check for a NULL and
in that case use raid6_empty_zero_page.

When a raid5 (or raid6) array is being reshaped to have fewer devices,
conf->raid_disks is the latter and hence smaller number of devices.
However sometimes we want to use a number which is the total number of
currently required devices - the larger of the 'old' and 'new' sizes.
Before we implemented reducing the number of devices, this was always
'new' i.e. ->raid_disks.
Now we need max(raid_disks, previous_raid_disks) in those places.

This particularly affects assembling an array that was shutdown while
in the middle of a reshape to fewer devices.

md.c needs a similar fix when interpreting the md metadata.

The percpu conversion allowed a straightforward handoff of stripe
processing to the async subsytem that initially showed some modest gains
(+4%).  However, this model is too simplistic and leads to stripes
bouncing between raid5d and the async thread pool for every invocation
of handle_stripe().  As reported by Holger this can fall into a
pathological situation severely impacting throughput (6x performance
loss).

By downleveling the parallelism to raid_run_ops the pathological
stripe_head bouncing is eliminated.  This version still exhibits an
average 11% throughput loss for:

	mdadm --create /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-q] -n 16 -l 6
	echo 1024 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size
	dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1024k count=2048

...but the results are at least stable and can be used as a base for
further multicore experimentation.

Both raid1 and raid10 create a mempool during startup.
If the 'alloc' function for this mempool fails, unplug_slaves
is called.
If that happens when the pool is being initialised, unplug_slaves
will try to use the 'conf' structure that isn't filled in yet, and
badness will happen.

So ensure that unplug_slaves doesn't get called unless we know
that the conf structure if fully initialised.

The general one handles NULL, the static obsolescent

that assumption.

All other callers in module.c all protect it with an if; this effectively
does the same as free_init is only goto if we fail percpu_modalloc().

Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a
separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing
(e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains
newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might
not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of
the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures.

This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation
by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel
parameters.

When unaligned accesses are required for uncompressing a kernel (such as
for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including
<linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are
not available in the decompression environment.

linux/kernel.h brings at least:
extern int console_printk[];
extern const char hex_asc[];
which causes errors at link-time as they are not available when
compiling the pre-boot environement. There are also a few others:
