Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

On 32-bit:
drivers/md/dm-log-writes.c: In function ‘log_super’:
drivers/md/dm-log-writes.c:323: warning: integer constant is too large for ‘long’ type
Add a ULL suffix to WRITE_LOG_MAGIC to fix this.
Also add a ULL suffix to WRITE_LOG_VERSION as it's stored in a __le64
field.

Introduce a new target that is meant for file system developers to test file
system integrity at particular points in the life of a file system. We capture
all write requests and associated data and log them to a separate device
for later replay. There is a userspace utility to do this replay. The
idea behind this is to give file system developers a tool to verify that
the file system is always consistent.
