Add blk_rq_map_kern which takes a kernel buffer and maps it into
a request and bio. This can be used by the dm hw_handlers, old
sg_scsi_ioctl, and one day scsi special requests so all requests
comming into scsi will have bios. All requests having bios
should allow scsi to use scatter lists for all IO and allow it
to use block layer functions.

blk_insert_request() has a unobivous feature of requeuing a
request setting REQ_SPECIAL|REQ_SOFTBARRIER. SCSI midlayer
was the only user and as previous patches removed the usage,
remove the feature from blk_insert_request(). Only special
requests should be queued with blk_insert_request(). All
requeueing should go through blk_requeue_request().

The current problem seen is that the queue lock is actually in the
SCSI device structure, so when that structure is freed on device
release, we go boom if the queue tries to access the lock again.
The fix here is to move the lock from the scsi_device to the queue.

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!
