When calling register_blkdev() with specified major
device number, the return code is 0 on success.
So it seems not correct direct assign return code to
variable major_num in this case.

We only use it in biovec_phys_mergeable and a m68k paravirt driver,
so just opencode it there. Also remove the pointless unsigned long cast
for the offset in the opencoded instances.

No functional changes in this patch, but it prepares us for returning
a more useful cookie related to the IO that was queued up.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Pointers passed to ARAnyM NatFeat calls should be physical addresses,
not virtual addresses. This worked before because on Atari, physical and
virtual kernel addresses are the same, as long as normal kernel memory
is concerned.
Correct the few remaining places where virtual addresses were used.

There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.
Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.
