<content type='text'>
At present VMBus driver is hinged off of CONFIG_HYPERV which entails
lot of builtin code and encompasses too much. It's not always clear
what depends on builtin hv code and what depends on VMBus. Setting
CONFIG_HYPERV as a module and fudging the Makefile to switch to builtin
adds even more confusion. VMBus is an independent module and should have
its own config option. Also, there are scenarios like baremetal dom0/root
where support is built in with CONFIG_HYPERV but without VMBus. Lastly,
there are more features coming down that use CONFIG_HYPERV and add more
dependencies on it.

So, create a fine grained HYPERV_VMBUS option and update Kconfigs for
dependency on VMBus.

This is one of the last drivers depending on the block layer bounce
buffering code.  Restrict it to run on non-highmem configs so that the
bounce buffering code can be removed.

<content type='text'>
Now that the crc32c() library function directly takes advantage of
architecture-specific optimizations, it is unnecessary to go through the
crypto API.  Just use crc32c().  This is much simpler, and it improves
performance due to eliminating the crypto API overhead.

<content type='text'>
Remove the cxlflash driver for IBM CAPI Flash devices.

The cxlflash driver has received minimal maintenance for some time, and
the CAPI Flash hardware that uses it is no longer commercially available.

Thanks to Uma Krishnan, Matthew Ochs and Manoj Kumar for their work on
this driver over the years.

<title>block: remove the blk_integrity_profile structure</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e9f5f44ad3725335d9c559c3c22cd3726152a7b1</id>
<content type='text'>
Block layer integrity configuration is a bit complex right now, as it
indirects through operation vectors for a simple two-dimensional
configuration:

 a) the checksum type of none, ip checksum, crc, crc64
 b) the presence or absence of a reference tag

Remove the integrity profile, and instead add a separate csum_type flag
which replaces the existing ip-checksum field and a new flag that
indicates the presence of the reference tag.

This removes up to two layers of indirect calls, remove the need to
offload the no-op verification of non-PI metadata to a workqueue and
generally simplifies the code. The downside is that block/t10-pi.c now
has to be built into the kernel when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is
supported.  Given that both nvme and SCSI require t10-pi.ko, it is loaded
for all usual configurations that enabled CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY
already, though.

Fix indentation of config option's help text by adding leading spaces.
Generally help text is indented by couple of spaces more beyond the leading
tab &lt;\t&gt; character.  It helps Kconfig parsers to read file without error.

Pull more SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "The vfs has long had a write lifetime hint mechanism that gives the
  expected longevity on storage of the data being written. f2fs was the
  original consumer of this and used the hint for flash data placement
  (mostly to avoid write amplification by placing objects with similar
  lifetimes in the same erase block).

  More recently the SCSI based UFS (Universal Flash Storage) drivers
  have wanted to take advantage of this as well, for the same reasons as
  f2fs, necessitating plumbing the write hints through the block layer
  and then adding it to the SCSI core.

  The vfs write_hints already taken plumbs this as far as block and this
  completes the SCSI core enabling based on a recently agreed reuse of
  the old write command group number. The additions to the scsi_debug
  driver are for emulating this property so we can run tests on it in
  the absence of an actual UFS device"
