Add IO priority parameter to dm_io() and update all callers.

block: better op and flags encoding

Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation
first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.

In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.

Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this
value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

dm io: use fixed initial mempool size

Replace the arbitrary calculation of an initial io struct mempool size
with a constant.

The code calculated the number of reserved structures based on the request
size and used a "magic" multiplication constant of 4. This patch changes
it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily.
Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose.

Note that if there is no memory pressure, we can still allocate an
arbitrary number of "struct io" structures. One structure is enough to
process the whole request.
