There are apparently still users out there of this driver. While we'd
love to remove it to ease the maintenance burden, let's reinstate it
for now until better (userspace) solutions can be developed.

pktcdvd: convert to use attribute groups

There is no need to create kobject children of the pktcdvd device just
to display a subdirectory name. Instead, use a named attribute group
which removes the extra kobjects and also fixes the userspace race where
the device is created yet tools like libudev can not see the attributes
as they think the subdirectories are some other sort of device.

pktdvd: stop using bdi congestion framework.

The bdi congestion framework isn't widely used and should be
deprecated.

pktdvd makes use of it to track congestion, but this can be done
entirely internally to pktdvd, so it doesn't need to use the framework.

So introduce a "congested" flag. When waiting for bio_queue_size to
drop, set this flag and a var_waitqueue() to wait for it. When
bio_queue_size does drop and this flag is set, clear the flag and call
wake_up_var().

We don't use a wait_var_event macro for the waiting as we need to set
the flag and drop the spinlock before calling schedule() and while that
is possible with __wait_var_event(), result is not easy to read.

[PATCH] pktcdvd: Allow larger packets

The pktcdvd driver uses a compile time macro constant to define the maximum
supported packet length. I changed this from 32 sectors to 128 sectors
because that allows over 100 MB of additional usable space on a 700 MB cdrw,
and increases throughput.

Note that you need a modified cdrwtool program that can format a CDRW disc
with larger packets to benefit from this change.

[PATCH] pktcdvd: Fix overflow for discs with large packets

The pktcdvd driver was using an 8 bit field to store the packet length
obtained from the disc track info. This causes it to overflow packet length
values of 128KB or more. I changed the field to 32 bits to fix this.

The pktcdvd driver defaulted to its maximum allowed packet length when it
detected a 0 in the track info field. I changed this to fail the operation
and refuse to access the media. This seems more sane than attempting to
access it with a value that almost certainly will not work.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,

archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
