Because it is useless to call it if the device is opened in R/O mode, and also
harmful: on CFI NOR flash it may block for long time waiting for erase
operations to complete is another partition with a R/W file-system on this

This patch teaches 'mtd_sync()' to do nothing when the MTD driver does
not have the '->sync()' method, which allows us to remove all direct
'mtd->sync' accesses.

This patch is part of a patch-set which changes the MTD interface
from 'mtd->func()' form to 'mtd_func()' form. We need this because
we want to add common code to to all drivers in the mtd core level,
which is impossible with the current interface when MTD clients
call driver functions like 'read()' or 'write()' directly.
At this point we just introduce a new inline wrapper function, but
later some of them are expected to gain more code. E.g., the input
parameters check should be moved to the wrappers rather than be
duplicated at many drivers.
This particular patch introduced the 'mtd_erase()' interface. The
following patches add all the other interfaces one by one.

Start moving away from the MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL messages. The dynamic
debugging feature is a generic kernel feature that provides more
flexibility.
(See Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt)
Also fix some punctuation, indentation, and capitalization that went
along with the affected lines.

* Add locking where it was missing.
* Don't do a get_mtd_device in blktrans_open because it would lead to a
deadlock; instead do that in add_mtd_blktrans_dev.
* Only free the mtd_blktrans_dev structure when the last user exits.
* Flush request queue on device removal.
* Track users, and call tr->release in del_mtd_blktrans_dev
Due to that ->open and release aren't called more that once.
Now it is safe to call del_mtd_blktrans_dev while the device is still in use.

Since we allocate struct mtd_blktrans_dev for each block device, we
can add our own structure members to the end. Therefore embed
struct mtd_blktrans_dev in struct mtdblk_dev and remove the static
array of struct mtdblk_dev. Also remove the redundant pointer to
struct mtd_info.
This is preparation for removing the static limit on the number of MTD
devices.

Ram devices get the extra capability of MTD_NO_ERASE - not requiring

mtdblock is the only user of aggregate capabilities in mtd. This is clearly
bogus and should be changed. In particular, it tries to determine whether
the device in question is a piece of RAM. For every single driver that fits
the current criteria, an easier test would be to check for the type being
MTD_RAM.

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

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!
