Following are 5 patches which - I think - clean up various bits and pieces in the block layer.
The only part that might be seen as a function change rather than simply rearranging code is in ps3disk where bvec_kmap_irq is used instead of bio_kmap_atomic (so interrupts are disabled). The only other user of bvec_kmap_irq is ide-floppy.c. If that does need to disable interrupts, and ps3disk doesn't, make the disabling of interrupts should be separated from the kmapping??
