linear currently uses division by the size of the smallest componenet device
to find which device a request goes to. If that smallest device is larger
than 2 terabytes, then the division will not work on some systems.
So we introduce a pre-shift, and take care not to make the hash table too
large, much like the code in raid0.
Also get rid of conf->nr_zones, which is not needed.

md does not yet support BIO_RW_BARRIER, so be honest about it and fail
(-EOPNOTSUPP) any such requests.

This patch removes some unneeded checks of pointers being NULL before
calling kfree() on them. kfree() handles NULL pointers just fine, checking
first is pointless.

When a request crosses a boundary between devices, it needs to be split.
But where we should calculate the amount of the request before the boundary
to find the split-point, we care currently calculating the amount that is
*after* the boundary !!!

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
