[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/2] add stripe end_io function and event trigger

From: Brian Wood <brian.j.wood at intel.com>

This patch adds the stripe_end_io function to process errors that might
occur after an IO operation. As part of this there are a number of
enhancements made to record and trigger events:
	- New atomic variable in struct stripe to record the number of
errors each stripe volume has experienced (could be used later with
uevents to report back directly to userspace)
	- New workqueue/work struct setup to process the trigger_event
function
	- New trigger_event function to process failure events. This
will determine the exact stripe that cause the IO error, record the
error and call dm_table_event()
	- With this change Alasdair requested that the version number be
incremented
