ide-tape: use standard data transfer mechanism
Impact: use standard way to transfer data
ide-tape uses rq in an interesting way. For r/w requests, rq->special
is used to carry a private buffer management structure idetape_bh and
rq->nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors are initialized to the number of
idetape blocks which isn't necessary 512 bytes. Also,
rq->current_nr_sectors is used to report back the residual count in
units of idetape blocks.
This peculiarity taxes both block layer and ide. ide-atapi has
different paths and hooks to accomodate it and what a rq means becomes
quite confusing and making changes at the block layer becomes quite
difficult and error-prone.
This patch makes ide-tape use bio instead. With the previous patch,
ide-tape currently is using single contiguos buffer so replacing it
isn't difficult. Data buffer is mapped into bio using
blk_rq_map_kern() in idetape_queue_rw_tail(). idetape_io_buffers()
and idetape_update_buffers() are dropped and pc->bh is set to null to
tell ide-atapi to use standard data transfer mechanism and idetape_bh
byte counts are updated by the issuer on completion using the residual
count.
This change also nicely removes the FIXME in ide_pc_intr() where
ide-tape rqs need to be completed using ide_rq_bytes() instead of
blk_rq_bytes() (although this didn't really matter as the request
didn't have bio).
