The simscsi code at present overflows an int if it's given a large
disk image. The attached patch increases the possible size to 128G.
While it's unlikely that anyone will want to use SKI with such a
large drive, the same framework is currently being used for various
virtualisation experiments.

The sd driver now uses scsi_execute_req() for almost everything.
scsi_execute_req() converts requests into scatterlists.
Fix the HP SCSI disk simulator to understand scatterlists for
more commands.
Without this patch the current kernel will not boot on the simulator
(the disks are always detected as having no sectors, and so cannot be
mounted).

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!
