Objective of this patch is - 

To move code used in bcache module in block layer which is used to find IO 
stream. 
Reference code @drivers/md/bcache/request.c check_should_bypass().
This is a high level patch for review and understand if it is worth to follow ?

As of now bcache module use this logic, but good to have it in block layer and 
expose function for external use.

In this patch, I move logic of sequential IO search in block layer and exposed 
function blk_queue_rq_seq_cutoff.
Low level driver just need to call if they want stream detection per request 
queue. 
For my testing I just added call blk_queue_rq_seq_cutoff(sdev->request_queue, 
4) megaraid_sas driver.
 
In general, code of bcache module was referred and they are doing almost same 
as what we want to do in 
megaraid_sas driver below patch -

http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=148245616108288&w=2
 
bcache implementation use search algorithm (hashed based on bio start sector)
and detects 128 streams. <bcache> wanted those implementation to skip 
sequential IO 
to be placed on SSD and move it direct to the HDD. 

Will it be good design to keep this algorithm open at block layer (as proposed 
in patch.) ?
