IPR scsi adapter have an exposure today in that they issue BIST to the adapter
to reset the card. If, during the time it takes to complete BIST, userspace
attempts to access PCI config space, the host bus bridge will master abort the
access since the ipr adapter does not respond on the PCI bus for a brief
period of time when running BIST. On PPC64 hardware, this master abort
results in the host PCI bridge isolating that PCI device from the rest of the
system, making the device unusable until Linux is rebooted. This patch makes
use of some newly added PCI layer APIs that allow for protection from
userspace accessing config space of a device in scenarios such as this.

Now we can change the pci core to always set this pointer, as pci drivers
should use it, not the driver core callback.

Currently, during PCI hotplug remove, if the upper layer
drivers of the attached devices send commands down as part
of the remove action, like a CDROM, the hotplug action
will hang forever due to the ipr driver returning
SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY. Patch fixes this.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
