Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.
Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.

The spinlock is held over too large a region: pscratch is a permanent
address (it's allocated at boot time and never changes). All you need
the smp lock for is mediating the scratch in use flag, so fix this by
moving the spinlock into the case where we set the pscratch_busy flag
to false.

- Cleanup the rest of the scsi_cmnd->SCp members and move them
to gdth_cmndinfo:
SCp.this_residual => priority
SCp.buffers_residual => timeout
SCp.Status => status and dma_dir
SCp.Message => info
SCp.have_data_in => volatile wait_for_completion
SCp.sent_command => OpCode
SCp.phase => phase
- Two more members will be naturally removed in the !use_sg cleanup
TODO: What is the meaning of gdth_cmndinfo.phase? (rhetorically)

- scsi_cmnd and specifically ->SCp of, where heavily abused
with internal meaning members and flags. So introduce a new
struct gdth_cmndinfo, put it on ->host_scribble and define a
gdth_cmnd_priv() accessor to retrieve it from a scsi_cmnd.
- The structure now holds two members:
internal_command - replaces the IS_GDTH_INTERNAL_CMD() croft.
sense_paddr - which was a 64-bit spanning on 2 32-bit members of SCp.
More overloaded members from SCp and scsi_cmnd will be moved in a later
patch (For easy review).
- Split up gdth_queuecommand to an additional internal_function. The later
is the one called by gdth_execute(). This will be more evident later in
the scsi accessors patch, but it also facilitates in the differentiation
between internal_command and external. And the setup of gdth_cmndinfo of
each command.

- Based on same patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
- Get rid of all the indirection in the Scsi_Host private data and always
put the gdth_ha_str directly into it.
- Change all internal functions prototype to recieve an "gdth_ha_str *ha"
pointer directlly and kill all that redundent access to the "gdth_ctr_tab[]"
controller-table.

The virt_ctr option allows to register a new scsi_host for each bus
on the raid controller. This non-default option makes no sense with
the current scsi code and prevents cleaning up the host registration,
so remove it.

* Remove in-source changelog. It's archived permanently in git and
various kernel archives, and changelogs should exist purely in git.
* Remove 2.4.x kernel support. It is an active obstacle to
modernizing this driver, at this point. This includes killing
gdth_kcompat.h which is 100% redundant in modern kernels.

The ->done member was being used to mark commands as being internal.
I decided to put a magic number in ->underflow instead. I believe this
to be safe as no current user of ->underflow has any of the bottom 9
bits set.

Initial pass at converting the gdth driver away from the scsi_request
interface so that the request interface can be removed post 2.6.18

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!
