Fixed lockup problem with bounce_buffer scatter list which caused
crashes in heavy loads. And minor code indentation cleanup in effected
area.
Removed whitespace and noted minor indentation changes in description as
pointed out by Joe Perches. (Thanks for reviewing Joe)

Increased storvsc ringbuffer and max_io_requests. This now more
closely mimics the numbers on Hyper-V. And will allow more IO requests
to take place for the SCSI driver.
Max_IO is set to double from what it was before, Hyper-V allows it and
we have had appliance builder requests to see if it was a problem to
increase the number.
Ringbuffer size for storvsc is now increased because I have seen A few buffer
problems on extremely busy systems. They were Set pretty low before.
And since max_io_requests is increased I Really needed to increase the buffer
as well.

Fixed the value of the 64bit-hole inside ring buffer, this
caused a problem on Hyper-V when running checked Windows builds.
Checked builds of Windows are used internally and given to external
system integrators at times. They are builds that for example that all
elements in a structure follow the definition of that Structure. The bug
this fixed was for a field that we did not fill in at all (Because we do
Not use it on the Linux side), and the checked build of windows gives
errors on it internally to the Windows logs.
This fixes that error.

Fix missing functions for net_device_ops.
It's a bug when porting the drivers from 2.6.27 to 2.6.32. In 2.6.27,
the default functions for Ethernet, like eth_change_mtu(), were assigned
by ether_setup(). But in 2.6.32, these function pointers moved to
net_device_ops structure and no longer be assigned in ether_setup(). So
we need to set these functions in our driver code. It will ensure the
MTU won't be set beyond 1500. Otherwise, this can cause an error on the
server side, because the HyperV linux driver doesn't support jumbo frame
yet.

Fixed up pretty trivial conflicts in drivers/block/virtio_blk.c and
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c as per Jens.
The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

There is a possible race condition when hv_utils starts to load immediately
after hv_vmbus is loading - null pointer error could happen.
This patch added wait/completion to ensure all channels are ready before
vmbus loading completes. So another module won't have any uninitialized channel.
