'GPL-2.0-only' is used instead of 'GPL-2.0' because SPDX has
deprecated its use.

__bitwise__ used to mean "yes, please enable sparse checks
unconditionally", but now that we dropped __CHECK_ENDIAN__
__bitwise is exactly the same.
There aren't many users, replace it by __bitwise everywhere.

This reverts commit 64ab346a36 because we
actually do want to allow the discard blocksize to be larger than the
cache blocksize. Further dm-cache discard changes will make this
possible.

Discard block size not being equal to cache block size causes data
corruption by erroneously avoiding migrations in issue_copy() because
the discard state is being cleared for a group of cache blocks when it
should not.
Completely remove all code that enabled a distinction between the
cache block size and discard block size.

Add a target that allows a fast device such as an SSD to be used as a
cache for a slower device such as a disk.
A plug-in architecture was chosen so that the decisions about which data
to migrate and when are delegated to interchangeable tunable policy
modules. The first general purpose module we have developed, called
"mq" (multiqueue), follows in the next patch. Other modules are
under development.
