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.

async: keep pending tasks on async_domain and remove async_pending Async kept single global pending list and per-domain running lists. When an async item is queued, it's put on the global pending list. The item is moved to the per-domain running list when its execution starts. At this point, this design complicates execution and synchronization without bringing any benefit. The list only matters for synchronization which doesn't care whether a given async item is pending or executing. Also, global synchronization is done by iterating through all active registered async_domains, so the global async_pending list doesn't help anything either. Rename async_domain->running to async_domain->pending and put async items directly there and remove when execution completes. This simplifies lowest_in_progress() a lot - the first item on the pending list is the one with the lowest cookie, and async_run_entry_fn() doesn't have to mess with moving the item from pending to running. After the change, whether a domain is empty or not can be trivially determined by looking at async_domain->pending. Remove async_domain->count and use list_empty() on pending instead.

[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.
