Introduce a module parameter to specify the number of requests
we try to handle with one HW request.

Handle up to 8 block layer requests per HW request. These requests
can be processed in parallel on the device leading to better
throughput (and less interrupts). The overhead for additional
requests is small since we don't blindly allocate new aidaws but
try to use what's left of the previous one.

AOBs (the structure describing the HW request) need to be 4K
aligned but very little of that page is actually used. With
this patch we place aidaws at the end of the AOB page and only
allocate a separate page for aidaws when we have to (lists of
aidaws must not cross page boundaries).

We currently use one preallocated page per HW request to store
aidaws. With this patch we use mempool to allocate an aidaw page
whenever we need it.

Refactor direct debug level comparisons with the (internal) s390db->level
member. Use the debug_level_enabled() function instead.

Stop writing to scm after certain error conditions such as a concurrent
firmware upgrade. Resume to normal state once scm_blk_set_available is
called (due to an scm availability notification).
