[PATCH 2/8] block: implement blk kmap helpers

[Tejun Heo]

When block requests are handled via DMA dma mapping functions take
care of cache coherency.  Unfortunately, cache coherencly was left
unhandled until now for block PIOs, resulting in data corruption
issues on architectures with aliasing caches.

All block PIO operations use kmap/unmap to access target memory area
and the mapping/unmapping points are the perfect places for cache
flushing.  kmap/unmap are to PIO'ing cpus what dma_map/unmap are to
DMAing devices.

This patch implements blk kmap helpers which additionally take
@direction argument and deal with cache coherency.
