In the case when an ep_connect request is interrupted due to route
request stall, if the iSCSI daemon is terminated by the user, the chip
will be left in a state which will not get cleaned up upon module
removal. Upon module reload, when the same context id is used for a
new connection, chip panic would occur.
This patch adds chip cleanup in the module removal path.

This driver is the only user of dma_is_consistent(). We plan to remove this
API.
The driver uses the API in the following way:
BUG_ON(!dma_is_consistent(hostdata->dev, pScript) && L1_CACHE_BYTES < dma_get_cache_alignment());
The above code tries to see if L1_CACHE_BYTES is greater than
dma_get_cache_alignment() on sysmtes that can not allocate coherent memory
(some old systems can't).
James Bottomley exmplained that this is necesary because the driver packs the
set of mailboxes into a single coherent area and separates the different
usages by a L1 cache stride. So it's fatal if the dma
He also pointed out that we can kill this checking because we don't hit this
BUG_ON on all architectures that actually use the driver.

[SCSI] reservation conflict after timeout causes device to be taken offline
Flipped us from always returning failed to always returning success in
the name of fixing the problem where reservation conflict returns from
test unit ready cause the device always to be taken offline.
Unfortuantely, it also introduced a problem whereby for commands other
than test unit ready, the eh dispatcher thinks they succeeded when
reservation conflict is returned, whereas in reality they failed. Fix
this by only returning success for the test unit ready case.

When the transport is busy and we're sending an EH command drivers
occasionally return 'BUSY'. As this in most cases is the TUR
command sent as part of the error recovery this is a sure way
to make the error recovery escalate. Returning 'NEEDS_RETRY'

original command, thus making error handling far smoother.

Fixed up pretty trivial conflicts in drivers/block/virtio_blk.c and
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c as per Jens.
scsi-ml uses REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC for flush requests from file
systems. The definition of REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC is that we don't retry
requests even when we can (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION) and we send the
response to the callers (then the callers can decide what they want).
We need a workaround such as the commit
77a4229719 to retry BLOCK_PC flush
requests. We will need the similar workaround for discard requests too
since SCSI-ml handle them as BLOCK_PC internally.
This uses REQ_TYPE_FS for flush requests from file systems instead of
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.
scsi-ml retries only REQ_TYPE_FS requests that have data to
transfer when we can retry them (e.g. UNIT_ATTENTION). However, we
also need to retry REQ_TYPE_FS requests without data because the
callers don't.
This also changes scsi_check_sense() to retry all the REQ_TYPE_FS
requests when appropriate. Thanks to scsi_noretry_cmd(),
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests don't be retried as before.
Note that basically, this reverts the commit
77a4229719 since now we use REQ_TYPE_FS
for flush requests.

Subject: [PATCH resend] scsi: convert discard to REQ_TYPE_FS from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
The block layer (file systems) sends discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS
(the role of REQ_TYPE_FS is that setting up commands and interpreting
the results). But SCSI-ml treats discard requests as
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.
scsi-ml can handle discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS
easily. scsi_setup_discard_cmnd() sets up struct request and the bio
nicely. Only remaining issue is that discard requests can't be
completed partially so we need to modify sd_done.
This conversion also fixes the problem that discard requests aren't
retried when possible (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION).
