[SCSI] Add Documentation and integrate into docbook build

Add Documentation/DocBook/scsi_midlayer.tmpl, add to Makefile, and update
lots of kerneldoc comments in drivers/scsi/*.

Updated with comments from Stefan Richter, Stephen M. Cameron,
 James Bottomley and Randy Dunlap.

+      <para>
+        Once upon a time, the Small Computer Systems Interface defined both
+        a parallel I/O bus and a data protocol to connect a wide variety of
+        peripherals (disk drives, tape drives, modems, printers, scanners,
+        optical drives, test equipment, and medical devices) to a host
+        computer.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        Although the old parallel (fast/wide/ultra) SCSI bus has largely
+        fallen out of use, the SCSI command set is more widely used than ever
+        to communicate with devices over a number of different busses.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        The <ulink url='http://www.t10.org/scsi-3.htm'>SCSI protocol</ulink>
+        is a big-endian peer-to-peer packet based protocol.  SCSI commands
+        are 6, 10, 12, or 16 bytes long, often followed by an associated data
+        payload.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        SCSI commands can be transported over just about any kind of bus, and
+        are the default protocol for storage devices attached to USB, SATA,
+        SAS, Fibre Channel, FireWire, and ATAPI devices.  SCSI packets are
+        also commonly exchanged over Infiniband,
+        <ulink url='http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/faq.php'>I20</ulink>, TCP/IP
+        (<ulink url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCSI'>iSCSI</ulink>), even

+      <title>Design of the Linux SCSI subsystem</title>
+      <para>
+        The SCSI subsystem uses a three layer design, with upper, mid, and low
+        layers.  Every operation involving the SCSI subsystem (such as reading
+        a sector from a disk) uses one driver at each of the 3 levels: one
+        upper layer driver, one lower layer driver, and the scsi midlayer.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        The SCSI upper layer provides the interface between userspace and the
+        kernel, in the form of block and char device nodes for I/O and
+        ioctl().  The SCSI lower layer contains drivers for specific hardware
+        devices.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        In between is the SCSI mid-layer, analogous to a network routing
+        layer such as the IPv4 stack.  The SCSI mid-layer routes a packet
+        based data protocol between the upper layer's /dev nodes and the
+        corresponding devices in the lower layer.  It manages command queues,
+        provides error handling and power management functions, and responds
+        to ioctl() requests.

  * Description:
- *     If @sdevscan is for a SCSI-3 or up device, send a REPORT LUN
- *     command, and scan the resulting list of LUNs by calling
- *     scsi_probe_and_add_lun.
+ *   Fast scanning for modern (SCSI-3) devices by sending a REPORT LUN command.
+ *   Scan the resulting list of LUNs by calling scsi_probe_and_add_lun.
  *
- *     Modifies sdevscan->lun.
+ *   If BLINK_REPORTLUN2 is set, scan a target that supports more than 8
+ *   LUNs even if it's older than SCSI-3.
+ *   If BLIST_NOREPORTLUN is set, return 1 always.
+ *   If BLIST_NOLUN is set, return 0 always.
  *
  * Return:
  *     0: scan completed (or no memory, so further scanning is futile)
- *     1: no report lun scan, or not configured
+ *     1: could not scan with REPORT LUN
