Hannes Reinecke ae11b1b36d [SCSI] scsi_dh: attach to hardware handler from dm-mpath
multipath keeps a separate device table which may be
more current than the built-in one.
So we should make sure to always call ->attach whenever
a multipath map with hardware handler is instantiated.
And we should call ->detach on removal, too.

Hannes Reinecke b6ff1b14cd [SCSI] scsi_dh: Update EMC handler
This patch converts the EMC device handler to use a proper
state machine. We now also parse the extended INQUIRY
information to determine if long trespass commands are
supported. And we're now using the long trespass command
correctly. And finally there's now an check at init time
to refuse to attach to devices not supporting EMC-specific
VPD pages.

Chandra Seetharaman fe9233fb69 [SCSI] scsi_dh: fix kconfig related build errors
Do not automatically "select" SCSI_DH for dm-multipath. If SCSI_DH
doesn't exist,just do not allow  hardware handlers to be used.

Handle SCSI_DH being a module also. Make sure it doesn't allow DM_MULTIPATH
to be compiled in when SCSI_DH is a module.

Chandra Seetharaman a6a8d9f87e [SCSI] scsi_dh: add infrastructure for SCSI Device Handlers
Some of the storage devices (that can be accessed through multiple paths),
do need some special handling for
	1. Activating the passive path of the storage access.
	2. Decode and handle the special sense codes returned by the devices.
	3. Handle the I/Os being sent to the passive path, especially
           during the device probe time.
when accessed through multiple paths.

As of today this special device handling is done at the dm-multipath
layer using dm-handlers. That works well for (1); for (2) to be handled
at dm layer, scsi sense information need to be exported from SCSI to dm-layer,
which is not very attractive; (3) cannot be done at all at the dm layer.

Device handler has been moved to SCSI mainly to handle (2) and (3) properly.
