This patch updates the hp_sw device handler to properly
check the return codes etc.
And adds the 'correct' machine definitions.

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.

Implement a 'dh_state' sdev attribute for dynamic device handler
manipulation. A read on the attribute will return the name of
the currently attached device handler or 'detached' if no handler
is attached.
The attribute allows the following strings to be written:
- The name of the device handler to be attached if the state is
'detached'.
- 'activate' to trigger path activation if a device handler
is attached.
- 'detach' to detach the currently attached device handler.

Instead of having each and every driver implement its own
device table scanning code we should rather implement a common
routine and scan the device tables there.
This allows us also to implement a general notifier chain
callback for all device handler instead for one per handler.

Before accessing the device data structure in hardware handlers,
make sure it is a indeed a sdev device.

and later tested/verified the following fix.

This patch provides the device handler to support the LSI RDAC SCSI
based storage devices.

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.
