[PATCH 009 of 35] Remove overloading of bi_hw_segments in raid5.

From: NeilBrown
Date: Mon Jul 30 2007 - 22:20:45 EST



When a read request that bypassed the cache needs to be retried
(due to device failure) we need to process it one stripe_head at a time,
and record where we were up to.
We were recording this in bi_hw_segments. But as there is only
ever one such request that is being resubmitted, this info can
be stored in ->conf thus not misusing a field in the bio.
