Hello Guys,

Based on Christoph's bio based polling model[1], implement DM bio polling
with one very simple approach.

Patch 1 adds helper of blk_queue_poll().

Patch 2 adds .bio_poll() callback to block_device_operations, so bio
driver can implement its own logic for io polling.

Patch 3 implements bio polling for device mapper.


V3:
	- patch style change as suggested by Christoph(2/3)
	- fix kernel panic issue caused by nested dm polling, which is found
	  & figured out by Jeffle Xu (3/3)
	- re-organize setup polling code (3/3)
	- remove RFC

V2:
	- drop patch to add new fields into bio
	- support io polling for dm native bio splitting
	- add comment

  block: add helper of blk_queue_poll
  block: add ->poll_bio to block_device_operations
  dm: support bio polling
