Adrian Hunter 1e8e55b670 mmc: block: Add CQE support
Add CQE support to the block driver, including:
    - optionally using DCMD for flush requests
    - "manually" issuing discard requests
    - issuing read / write requests to the CQE
    - supporting block-layer timeouts
    - handling recovery
    - supporting re-tuning

CQE offers 25% - 50% better random multi-threaded I/O.  There is a slight
(e.g. 2%) drop in sequential read speed but no observable change to sequential
write.

CQE automatically sends the commands to complete requests.  However it only
supports reads / writes and so-called "direct commands" (DCMD).  Furthermore
DCMD is limited to one command at a time, but discards require 3 commands.
That makes issuing discards through CQE very awkward, but some CQE's don't
support DCMD anyway.  So for discards, the existing non-CQE approach is
taken, where the mmc core code issues the 3 commands one at a time i.e.
mmc_erase(). Where DCMD is used, is for issuing flushes.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
