Following in the steps of patch:
"xen: Union the blkif_request request specific fields" this patch
changes the blkback. Per the original patch:

"Prepare for extending the block device ring to allow request
specific fields, by moving the request specific fields for
reads, writes and barrier requests to a union member."

Bundle the lot of discrete variables into a single structure.
This is based on what was done in the xen-netback driver:

Cherry-pick and modified from 69d64727c42eecd47fdf82c15a54474d21a4012a
("blkback/blktap2: simplify address translations"):

"There are quite a number of places where e.g. page->va->page
translations happen.

Besides yielding smaller code (source and binary), a second goal is to
make it easier to determine where virtual addresses of pages allocated
through alloc_empty_pages_and_pagevec() are really used (in turn in
order to determine whether using highmem pages would be possible
there)."

The second goal is not the purpose of this patch - it is just to
make it easier to read the code.

The API for opening a block device has changed since 2.6.32. The
correct function to open a device is blkdev_get_by_dev.

TODO: Double check xen-blkfront.c

A guest can cause the backend driver to leak a kernel thread. Such
leaked threads hold references to the device, whichmakes the device
impossible to tear down. If shut down, the guest remains a zombie
domain, the xenwatch process hangs, and most xm commands will stop
working.

This patch tries to do the following for blkback:
    - identify/extract idempotent teardown operations,
    - add/move the invocation of said teardown operation
      right before we're about to allocate new resources in the
      Connected states.

In commit 13583b16 ("PCI: refactor io size calculation code") Ram
had a thinko in the refactorization of the code: the end result used the
variable 'align' for the bus alignment, but the original code used
'min_align'.

Since then, another use of that 'align' variable got introduced by
commit c8adf9a3 ("PCI: pre-allocate additional resources to devices
only after successful allocation of essential resources.")

Fix both of those uses to use 'min_align' as they should.

ext4 has taken the stance that, in the absence of a journal,
when an fsync/fdatasync of an inode is done, the parent
directory should be sync'ed if this inode entry is new.
ext4_sync_parent(), which implements this, does indeed sync
the dirent pages for parent directories, but it does not
sync the directory *inode*.  This patch fixes this.

Also now return error status from ext4_sync_parent().

I tested this using a power fail test, which panics a
machine running a file server getting requests from a
client.  Without this patch, on about every other test run,
the server is missing many, many files that had been synced.
With this patch, on > 6 runs, I see zero files being lost.
