It's still an obsolete interface; don't introduce those in new drivers.
However, it's saner than the ->proc_info() and commits after this one
will convert the existing ->proc_info() users to it.
The read side is ->show_info(seq_file *, struct Scsi_Host *); use
seq_... for generating contents.
The write side is ->write_info(struct Scsi_Host *, char *, int).
Again, this is driven by procfs needs; we are going to kill ->write_proc()
and ->read_proc() and this is the main obstacle to burying that piece of
shit.

It's a seriously rotten copy of parts of bp_mod.c; had been
ifdefed out all along, lacks a bunch of declarations that would
be needed if ifdef had been removed, all stuff in it is duplicated
in bp_mod.c anyway...

->permission() of its own is a rudiment of sysctl imitation;
normal procfs logics will do just fine here, no need to
mess with ->proc_iops at all.

this "hooks" scheme is pointless - just make file_operations non-static
and consolidate initialiazation bits.

proc_create() has shat upon fops argument when mode is S_IFDIR.
Good thing, too, since fops passed to it is completely useless
for any directory. Just use proc_mkdir(), damnit.

The procfs debug code in rtl_debug.c is, ironically, very buggy: it lacks proper locking.
Since the most useful part of the code (the stats) are available through more
standard APIs, I think it is best to just delete the whole mess.

filesystem module as whole is pinned down by its superblock, no need
to have opened files on it to add anything to that.

it's used only as a flag to distinguish normal pipes/FIFOs from the
internal per-task one used by file-to-file splice. And pipe->files
would work just as well for that purpose...

fs/pipe.c file_operations methods *know* that pipe is not an internal one;
no need to check pipe->inode for those callers.

* new field - pipe->files; number of struct file over that pipe (all
sharing the same inode, of course); protected by inode->i_lock.
* pipe_release() decrements pipe->files, clears inode->i_pipe when
if the counter has reached 0 (all under ->i_lock) and, in that case,
frees pipe after having done pipe_unlock()
* fifo_open() starts with grabbing ->i_lock, and either bumps pipe->files
if ->i_pipe was non-NULL or allocates a new pipe (dropping and regaining
->i_lock) and rechecks ->i_pipe; if it's still NULL, inserts new pipe
there, otherwise bumps ->i_pipe->files and frees the one we'd allocated.
At that point we know that ->i_pipe is non-NULL and won't go away, so
we can do pipe_lock() on it and proceed as we used to. If we end up
failing, decrement pipe->files and if it reaches 0 clear ->i_pipe and
free the sucker after pipe_unlock().

* use the fact that file_inode(file)->i_pipe doesn't change
while the file is opened - no locks needed to access that.
* switch to pipe_lock/pipe_unlock where it's easy to do
