[PATCHv2 0/4] Userspace Passthrough backstore for LIO

[Andy Grover]

Hi Nick and all,

Here's version 2, against Nick's target-pending/for-next. Note that
since that tree is still on 3.17-rc5, in testing I ran into an issue
fixed by:

genhd: fix leftover might_sleep() in blk_free_devt()

which first appears in 3.17-rc7.

Incorporates feedback from Nick.

Doc fixes
* add table of contents
* add example code for the user-side
* document specific opcodes that IO mode passes through

Code fixes
* add back support for PASS_ALL and PASS_IO pass_level option.
* Removed retry-in-kernel mechanism
* fix issues from kbuild test robot
* remove kref from tcmu_dev and call kfree(udev) from tcmu_free_device
  instead
* set hw_block_size to 512 instead of 4096
* Don't copy DMA_FROM_DEVICE data if there was a CHECK_CONDITION
* use goto-style error handling in tcmu_configure_device
* Check retval from genlmsg_multicast and ignore -ESRCH
* properly handle if device is unconfigured in tcmu_free_device

Thanks -- Andy
