Channel path vary is currently broken: channel paths which are varied
offline are still used by Linux. The reason for this is that:
* the path mask indicating which paths of an I/O device can be used
is reset by each internal I/O request
* the logic that checks if a path group is already in its designated
target state incorrectly interprets the result "is correctly set"
as "is correctly set and available"
Fix this by resetting the path mask only for internal I/O requests
which affect the path mask and by correcting the pgid check logic.

Improve error recovery for internal I/Os by repeating each I/O
256 times per path to cope with long-running non-permanent error
conditions. Also retry each path twice to cope with link flapping,
i.e. single paths becoming unavailable in the order in which they
are tried.

The function ccw_device_unregister has to ensure to remove
all references obtained by device_add and device_initialize.
Unfortunately it gets called for devices which are
1) uninitialized, 2) initialized but unregistered, and
3) registered devices. To distinguish 1) and 2) this patch
introduces a new flag "initialized", which is 1 as long as we
hold the initial device reference.

We used to maintain a "registered" flag in our ccw_device_private
structure. This patch removes the "registered" flag and converts
all users of it to device_is_registered which has the exact same
meaning.
Note: The usage the atomic operation test_and_clear_bit is replaced
by the non-atomic if (device_is_registered()) device_del(). This
will not do harm, since we serialize calls to ccw_device_unregister
with a single-threaded workqueue.

Set-pgid operations fail for some device types under z/VM for which
the hypervisor has already set the pgid. Also reserved devices or
changed pgids are not correctly recognized. Fix these problems by
using a combination of sense-pgid and set-pgid and by also accepting
pre-defined pgid settings.

Split setting (driver wants feature enabled) and status (feature
setup was successful) for PGID related ccw device features so that
setup errors can be detected. Previously, incorrectly handled setup
errors could in rare cases lead to erratic I/O behavior and
permanently unusuable devices.

After changing all internal I/O functions to use the newly introduced
ccw request infrastructure, retries are handled automatically after a

Introduce a central mechanism for performing delayed ccw device work
to ensure that different types of work do not overwrite each other.
Prioritization ensures that the most important work is always
performed while less important tasks are either obsoleted or repeated
later.

This patch adds a driver for subchannels of type chsc.

- obtain information about the machine's I/O configuration
- dynamically change the machine's I/O configuration via
asynchronous chsc commands
