Here's the patch to enable failfast flag in the bio submission code, and
use it for multipath and readahead.

Long overdue, make James the listed maintainer. He _is_ doing the
maintenance, lets put him on the front line :-)

A recent change moved the tcq init too early in the init sequence, the
queue isn't initialized at this point which causes the task file
executions to kill elevator with a NULL EIP (->add_req_fn()).  This
patch fixes it, acked by Bart.

The module load code adds a reference to the owner field before calling
the modules init function so it isn't necessary for the init function
to do a similar action.

Module init methods are called with a reference already taken by the
module code so the MOD_*_USE_COUNT can be deleted.

Also fixed the racy check_region()/request_region() calls.

This patch exports the kstat per-cpu variable, needed for
hisax, which uses kstat_irqs() during card probing to make sure
that irqs actually work. This could possibly replaced by a
private counter in the hisax ISRs, but that's really just
unnecessary overhead, since the core kernel already does the work
anyway.

Instead of faking a hisax-internal card, just register a card
driven by a submodule directly, which fixes the current crashes
when loading such a driver. This makes use of the just introduced
do_register_isdn() and do_init() helpers.

Again, just introduce do_init() and move some code into it.
It'll be needed in the next cset.

This cset just introduces a new function do_register_isdn() which
takes care of what's necessary to register with the i4l link level.

In the unload path, we forgot to free the D-Channel state machines.

FsmNew() is exported, so it sure can't be __init (and since we now
discard __init in modules, it in fact crashes).

Somehow, this one had been overlooked...

A loop over all drivers obviously should use ISDN_MAX_DRIVERS, not
ISDN_MAX_CHANNELS.
