Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

Normal I/O operations through the DASD device driver give only access
to the data fields of an ECKD device even for track based I/O.
This patch extends the DASD device driver to give access to whole
ECKD tracks including count, key and data fields.

When a new path is added at runtime, the CIO layer will call the drivers
path_event callback. The DASD device driver uses this callback to trigger
a path verification for the new path. The driver will use only those
paths for I/O, which have been successfully verified.

Some storage systems support multitrack High Performance FICON
requests, which read or write data to more than one track.
This patch enables the DASD device driver to generate multitrack
High Performance FICON requests.

The BIODASDSNID ioctl executes a 'Sense Path Group ID'
command on a DASD ECKD device. The returned path group data
allows user space programs to determine path state and
path group ID of the channel paths to the device.

For base Parallel Access Volume (PAV) there is a fixed mapping of
base and alias devices. With dynamic PAV this mapping can be changed
so that an alias device is used with another base device.
This patch enables the DASD device driver to tolerate dynamic PAV
changes.

The first DASD that is set online for a specific logical control unit
has to do certain setup steps on the storage server to make full use
of it, for example it will enable PAV.
The features and characteristics reported by the storage server will
depend on this setup, so all other devices on the same LCU will need
to wait for the setup to be finished.

The dasd device driver will now support ECKD devices with more then
65520 cylinders.
In the traditional ECKD adressing scheme each track is addressed
by a 16-bit cylinder and 16-bit head number. The new addressing
scheme makes use of the fact that the actual number of heads is
never larger then 15, so 12 bits of the head number can be redefined
to be part of the cylinder address.

The Perform Subsystem Function/Prepare for Read Subsystem Data
command requires 12 bytes of parameter data, but the respective data
structure dasd_psf_prssd_data has a length of 16 bytes.
Current storage servers ignore the obsolete bytes, but older models
fail to execute the command and report an incorrect length error.
This causes the device initilization for these devices to fail.
To fix this problem we need to correct the dasd_psf_prssd_data
structure and shorten it to the correct length.

When z/VM provides two virtual devices (minidisks) that reside on the
same real device, both will receive the configuration data from the
real device and thus get the same uid. To fix this problem, z/VM
provides an additional configuration data record that allows to
distinguish between minidisks.
z/VM APAR VM64273 needs be installed so this fix has an effect.

Parallel access volumes (PAV) is a storage server feature, that allows
to start multiple channel programs on the same DASD in parallel. It
defines alias devices which can be used as alternative paths to the
same disk. With the old base PAV support we only needed rudimentary
functionality in the DASD device driver. As the mapping between base
and alias devices was static, we just had to export an identifier
(uid) and could leave the combining of devices to external layers
like a device mapper multipath.
Now hyper PAV removes the requirement to dedicate alias devices to
specific base devices. Instead each alias devices can be combined with
multiple base device on a per request basis. This requires full
support by the DASD device driver as now each channel program itself
has to identify the target base device.
The changes to the dasd device driver and the ECKD discipline are:
- Separate subchannel device representation (dasd_device) from block
device representation (dasd_block). Only base devices are block
devices.
- Gather information about base and alias devices and possible
combinations.
- For each request decide which dasd_device should be used (base or
alias) and build specific channel program.
- Support summary unit checks, which allow the storage server to
upgrade / downgrade between base and hyper PAV at runtime (support
is mandatory).

Generate new sysfs-attribute 'uid' that contains an device specific unique
identifier. This can be used to identity multiple ALIASES of the same
physical device (PAV). In addition the sysfs-attributes 'vendor' (containing
the manufacturer of the device) and 'alias' (identify alias or base device) is
added. This is first part of PAV support in LPAR (also valid on zVM).

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!
