Moore, Eric 8e32ca49ef [SCSI] raid_class.c - adding RAID10 and RAID10 defines
Adding defines for RAID10 and RAID50 levels, in preparation
of adding RAID Transport support in the mpt fusion drivers.
(BTW: IME is RAID10, and IM is RAID1).

Arjan van de Ven 0ad78200ba [SCSI] Mark some core scsi data structures const
patch below marks a few scsi core datastructures as const, so that they end up
in the .rodata section and don't cacheline share with things that get dirtied

Tim Schmielau 8c65b4a604 [PATCH] fix remaining missing includes
Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous
fix-missing-includes.patch.  This should now allow not to include sched.h
from module.h, which is done by a followup patch.

James Bottomley b1081ea6f0 [SCSI] raid class update
- Update raid class to use nested classes for raid components (this will
allow us to move to a component control model now)
- Make the raid level an enumeration rather than and int.

James Bottomley 61a7afa2c4 [SCSI] embryonic RAID class
The idea behind a RAID class is to provide a uniform interface to all
RAID subsystems (both hardware and software) in the kernel.

To do that, I've made this class a transport class that's entirely
subsystem independent (although the matching routines have to match per
subsystem, as you'll see looking at the code).  I put it in the scsi
subdirectory purely because I needed somewhere to play with it, but it's
not a scsi specific module.

I used a fusion raid card as the test bed for this; with that kind of
card, this is the type of class output you get:

jejb@titanic> ls -l /sys/class/raid_devices/20\:0\:0\:0/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     0 Aug 16 17:21 component-0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:1:0/20:1:0:0/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     0 Aug 16 17:21 component-1 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:1:1/20:1:1:0/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     0 Aug 16 17:21 device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:0:0/20:0:0:0/
-r--r--r--  1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 level
-r--r--r--  1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 resync
-r--r--r--  1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 state

So it's really simple: for a SCSI device representing a hardware raid,
it shows the raid level, the array state, the resync % complete (if the
state is resyncing) and the underlying components of the RAID (these are
exposed in fusion on the virtual channel 1).

As you can see, this type of information can be exported by almost
anything, including software raid.

The more difficult trick, of course, is going to be getting it to
perform configuration type actions with writable attributes.
