block, scsi: final compat_ioctl cleanup
This series concludes the work I did for linux-5.5 on the compat_ioctl() cleanup, killing off fs/compat_ioctl.c and block/compat_ioctl.c by moving everything into drivers. Overall this would be a reduction both in complexity and line count, but as I'm also adding documentation the overall number of lines increases in the end. My plan was originally to keep the SCSI and block parts separate. This did not work easily because of interdependencies: I cannot do the final SCSI cleanup in a good way without first addressing the CDROM ioctls, so this is one series that I hope could be merged through either the block or the scsi git trees, or possibly both if you can pull in the same branch. The series comes in these steps: 1. clean up the sg v3 interface as suggested by Linus. I have talked about this with Doug Gilbert as well, and he would rebase his sg v4 patches on top of "compat: scsi: sg: fix v3 compat read/write interface" 2. Actually moving handlers out of block/compat_ioctl.c and block/scsi_ioctl.c into drivers, mixed in with cleanup patches 3. Document how to do this right. I keep getting asked about this, and it helps to point to some documentation file. The branch is based on another one that fixes a couple of bugs found during the creation of this series.
