dm: enable request based option
This patch enables request-based dm. o Request-based dm and bio-based dm coexist, since there are some target drivers which are more fitting to bio-based dm. Also, there are other bio-based devices in the kernel (e.g. md, loop). Since bio-based device can't receive struct request, there are some limitations on device stacking between bio-based and request-based. type of underlying device bio-based request-based ---------------------------------------------- bio-based OK OK request-based -- OK The device type is recognized by the queue flag in the kernel, so dm follows that. o The type of a dm device is decided at the first table binding time. Once the type of a dm device is decided, the type can't be changed. o Mempool allocations are deferred to at the table loading time, since mempools for request-based dm are different from those for bio-based dm and needed mempool type is fixed by the type of table. o Currently, request-based dm supports only tables that have a single target. To support multiple targets, we need to support request splitting or prevent bio/request from spanning multiple targets. The former needs lots of changes in the block layer, and the latter needs that all target drivers support merge() function. Both will take a time.
