[PATCH v2 00/11] Asynchronous raid6 acceleration (part 1 of 3)

[Dan Williams]

This series extends the async_tx api to include support for offloading raid6
operations to hardware.  Part 2 covers updates to the iop-adma driver to
enable raid6.  Part 3 covers the changes to md/raid6 to use the async_tx api
for its raid6 computations.

A merge of these 3 topic series is available via the raid6 branch of
async_tx.git:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/async_tx.git raid6

There are several changes since v1 of the patch set[1].  The primary updates
are:
1/ Address H. Peter Anvin's comments around the asynchronous raid6 recovery
   implementation.  It has been rewritten to more closely model the existing
   recovery implementation [2].

2/ Address Andre Noll's comment concerning the excessive number of arguments
   passed to the async_* routines.  Common parameters are now passed in a
   structure.

3/ Address Neil Brown's comment that we should solve the "kernel stack space
   limits the size of an array" problem with pre-allocated buffers.
   stripe_head objects now carry a kmalloc'd 'scribble' buffer relieving the
   stack pressure of raid computations.

4/ Various updates to get the code to pass the new raid6 recovery self test

Please review.

Thanks,
Dan
