This replaces scsi_execute_async with the block layer API. st does the
same thing so it might make sense to have something like libst (there
are other things that os and osst can share).

The OnStream SCSI Tape driver uses a semaphore as mutex. Use the mutex API
instead of the (binary) semaphore.

Ok, so here is my first take at satisfying this request.
Be warned, that beyond compiling, and checking that the new module
doesn't immediately blow up, there hasn't yet been a lot of testing.
But this should allow you to comment on the changes, and move forward
with dropping scsi_request from the kernel code.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
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!
