block: get rid of the WRITE_ODIRECT flag

Hi,

The WRITE_ODIRECT flag is only used in one place, and that code path
happens to also call blk_run_address_space.  The introduction of this
flag, then, could result in the device being unplugged twice for every
I/O.

Further, with the batching changes in the next patch, we don't want an
O_DIRECT write to imply a queue unplug.

aio: implement request batching

Hi,

Some workloads issue batches of small I/O, and the performance is poor
due to the call to blk_run_address_space for every single iocb.  Nathan
Roberts pointed this out, and suggested that by deferring this call
until all I/Os in the iocb array are submitted to the block layer, we
can realize some impressive performance gains (up to 30% for sequential
4k reads in batches of 16).

quota: Implement quota format with 64-bit space and inode limits
fiemap: Add new extent flag FIEMAP_EXTENT_SHARED

Some filesystems may allow multiple files to point to a particular
extent.  This patch adds flag FIEMAP_EXTENT_SHARED to denote extents
that are shared with other inodes.

block: remove the anticipatory IO scheduler

AS is mostly a subset of CFQ, so there's little point in still
providing this separate IO scheduler. Hopefully at some point we
can get down to one single IO scheduler again, at least this brings
us closer by having only one intelligent IO scheduler.

ext4: Support for 64-bit quota format

Add support for new 64-bit quota format. It is enough to add proper
mount options handling. The rest is done by the generic code.
