[linux-lvm] dm mirror target (pvmove) fixes

Some critical fixes to the mirror target (used by pvmove) are attached 
for more people to test before I put out a new tarball incorporating
them.  Until the fixes have received more testing and been applied to 
your machine, you should err on the safe side and not read/write data 
to a logical volume while it is being pvmoved with LVM2.

dm-io.c:
  Add safety checks for some assumptions the code makes.
  Amend do_page() algorithm:
    Avoid 1 << -1 if b is 0    [led to endless loop on s390]
    Avoid doing I/O beyond the supplied page if data is mis-aligned.
      [Led to alignment changes in the first part of a copy - a
       hole in the data, and the last bit chopped off.]

dm-log.c:
  Correct bitset size calculations [accessed beyond allocated memory]

dm-raid1.c:
  Use b_rsector instead of b_blocknr in mapping in case sector has
  already been mapped
    [Caused the wrong device offset to be used sometimes if doing I/O
    to a device during a pvmove i.e. data corruption]
  Increase DM_IO_PAGES to 256.  This and related constants need tuning.
  The current minimum for this constant is 128.
    [It was 64. Depending on copying lengths, the last region to be
    copied may need up to 128 pages and therefore never have been able
    to get enough pages to proceed.  Resulted in the end of status lines 
    saying things like "243/244" and some mirrors never finishing.]

kcopyd.c:
  Refuse to register a client that requests insufficient pages.
    [Intended to detect if 64 was used above.]

dm-ioctl.h:
  Increment version number to 4.0.4-ioctl (2003-08-30)
