async: Asynchronous function calls to speed up kernel boot Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that various hardware delays are done sequentially. In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays in practice. In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this patch does NOT do full parallel initialization. Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects (instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.

[SCSI] async: introduce 'async_domain' type This is in preparation for teaching async_synchronize_full() to sync all pending async work, and not just on the async_running domain. This conversion is functionally equivalent, just embedding the existing list in a new async_domain type. The .registered attribute is used in a later patch to distinguish between domains that want to be flushed by async_synchronize_full() versus those that only expect async_synchronize_{full|cookie}_domain to be used for flushing.

[SCSI] async: make async_synchronize_full() flush all work regardless of domain In response to an async related regression James noted: "My theory is that this is an init problem: The assumption in a lot of our code is that async_synchronize_full() waits for everything ... even the domain specific async schedules, which isn't true." ...so make this assumption true. Each domain, including the default one, registers itself on a global domain list when work is scheduled. Once all entries complete it exits that list. Waiting for the list to be empty syncs all in-flight work across all domains. Domains can opt-out of global syncing if they are declared as exclusive ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(). All stack-based domains have been declared exclusive since the domain may go out of scope as soon as the last work item completes. Statically declared domains are mostly ok, but async_unregister_domain() is there to close any theoretical races with pending async_synchronize_full waiters at module removal time.
