Delay decrementing the 'struct io' reference count until after the bio has
been freed so that a bio destructor function may reference it. Required by a
later patch.

Currently we scale the mempool sizes depending on memory installed
in the machine, except for the bio pool itself which sits at a fixed
256 entry pre-allocation.
There's really no point in "optimizing" this OOM path, we just need
enough preallocated to make progress. A single unit is enough, lets
scale it down to 2 just to be on the safe side.
This patch saves ~150kb of pinned kernel memory on a 32-bit box.

The existing code allocates an extra slot in bi_io_vec[] and uses it to store
the region number.
This patch hides the extra slot from bio_add_page() so the region number can't
get overwritten.
Also remove a hard-coded SECTOR_SHIFT and fix a typo in a comment.

This patch changes several mempool users, all of which are basically just
wrappers around kmalloc(), to use the common mempool_kmalloc/kfree, rather
than their own wrapper function, removing a bunch of duplicated code.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Jens:
->bi_set is totally unnecessary bloat of struct bio. Just define a proper
destructor for the bio and it already knows what bio_set it belongs too.

Fixed the bugs.

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!
