When the lightnvm core had the "gennvm" layer between the device and the
target, there was a need for the core to be able to figure out which
target it should send an end_io callback to. Leading to a "double"
end_io, first for the media manager instance, and then for the target
instance. Now that core and gennvm is merged, there is no longer a need
for this, and a single end_io callback will do.

In order to naturally support multi-target instances on an Open-Channel
SSD, targets should own the LUNs they get blocks from and manage
provisioning internally. This is done in several steps.
Since targets own the LUNs the are instantiated on top of and manage the
free block list internally, there is no need for a LUN abstraction in
the media manager. LUNs are intrinsically managed as in the physical
layout (ch:0,lun:0, ..., ch:0,lun:n, ch:1,lun:0, ch:1,lun:n, ...,
ch:m,lun:0, ch:m,lun:n) and given to the targets based on the target
creation ioctl. This simplifies LUN management and clears the path for a
partition manager to sit directly underneath LightNVM targets.

In order to naturally support multi-target instances on an Open-Channel
SSD, targets should own the LUNs they get blocks from and manage
provisioning internally. This is done in several steps.
A part of this transformation is that targets manage their blocks
internally. This patch eliminates the nvm_block abstraction and moves
block management to the target logic. The rrpc target is transformed.

This patch moves the block provisioning inside of the target and removes
the get/put block interface from the media manager.

Before vectored I/Os were supported on rrpc, the physical address was
stored as part of the nvm_rqd request. This variable become obsolete
when the ppa_list was introduced. Cleanup this variable.

The nvm_get_blk() function is called with rlun->lock held. This is ok
when the media manager implementation doesn't go out of its atomic
context. However, if a media manager persists its metadata, and
guarantees that the block is given to the target, this is no longer
a viable approach. Therefore, clean up the flow of rrpc_map_page,
and make sure that nvm_get_blk() is called without any locks acquired.

The number of ppas contained on a request is not necessarily the number
of pages that it maps to neither on the target nor on the device side.
In order to avoid confusion, rename nr_pages to nr_ppas since it is what
the variable actually contains.

We can create more than one target on a lightnvm
device by specifying its begin lun and end lun.
But only specify the physical address area is not
enough, we need to get the corresponding non-
intersection logical address area division from
the backend device's logcial address space.
Otherwise the targets on the device might use
the same logical addresses cause incorrect
information in the device's l2p table.

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the block driver pull request for this merge window. It sits
on top of for-4.6/core, that was just sent out.
This contains:
- A set of fixes for lightnvm. One from Alan, fixing an overflow,
and the rest from the usual suspects, Javier and Matias.
- A set of fixes for nbd from Markus and Dan, and a fixup from Arnd
for correct usage of the signed 64-bit divider.
- A set of bug fixes for the Micron mtip32xx, from Asai.
- A fix for the brd discard handling from Bart.
- Update the maintainers entry for cciss, since that hardware has
transferred ownership.
- Three bug fixes for bcache from Eric Wheeler.
- Set of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Jan and Konrad.
- Removal of the cpqarray driver. It has been disabled in Kconfig
since 2013, and we were initially scheduled to remove it in 3.15.
- Various updates and fixes for NVMe, with the most important being:
- Removal of the per-device NVMe thread, replacing that with a
watchdog timer instead. From Christoph.
- Exposing the namespace WWID through sysfs, from Keith.
- Set of cleanups from Ming Lin.
- Logging the controller device name instead of the underlying
PCI device name, from Sagi.
- And a bunch of fixes and optimizations from the usual suspects
in this area"

In rrpc, some calculations assume a certain configuration (e.g., 1 LUN,
1 sector per page). The reason behind this was that LightNVM used a
simple configuration with QEMU to test core features in the beginning.
This patch relaxes these assumptions and generalizes calculation,
allowing multiple luns to be used.

This patch fixes an error on the calculation of intersecting logical
addresses; it contemplates the case where a new request including
several addresses intersects with a single locked address. This case is
typical when multiple pages are sent in a new request, while GC - which
at the moment sends one address at the time - is running.

LightNVM targets need to know the state of the flash block when doing
flash optimizations. An example is implementing a write buffer to
respect the flash page size. Currently, block state is not accounted
for; the media manager only differentiates among free, bad and in-use
blocks.
This patch adds the logic in the generic media manager to enable
targets manage blocks into open and close separately, and it implements
such management in rrpc. It also adds a set of flags to describe the
state of the block (open, closed, free, bad).
In order to avoid taking two locks (nvm_lun and rrpc_lun) consecutively,
we introduce lockless get_/put_block primitives so that the open and
close list locks and future common logic is handled within the nvm_lun
lock.

Currently, a rrpc block only points to its nvm_lun. If a user wants to
find the associated rrpc lun, it will have to calculate the index and
look it up manually. By referencing the rrpc lun directly, this step can
be omitted, at the cost of a larger memory footprint.
This is important for upcoming patches that implement write buffering in
rrpc.

For cases where CONFIG_LBDAF is not set. The struct ppa_addr exceeds its
type on 32 bit architectures. ppa_addr requires a 64bit integer to hold
the generic ppa format. We therefore refactor it to u64 and
replaces the sector_t usages with u64 for physical addresses.
