Most block devices provide a command (e.g. 'sata', 'scsi', 'ide') and
these commands generally do the same thing. This makes it harder to
maintain this code and keep it consistent.
We now have a block device interface which is either implemented by driver
model (when CONFIG_BLK is enabled) or with a legacy interface. Therefore
it is possible to handle most of what these commands do with generic code.
Add a new generic function to process block-device commands using the
interface type and the current device number for that type.

Add a function to find the name of an interface type (e.g. "sata", "scsi")
from the interface type enum.
This is useful for generic code (not specific to SATA or SCSI, for
example) that wants to display the type of interface it is dealing with.

At present if U-Boot proper uses driver model for MMC, then SPL has to
also. While this is desirable, it places a significant barrier to moving
to driver model in some cases. For example, with a space-constrained SPL
it may be necessary to enable CONFIG_SPL_OF_PLATDATA which involves
adjusting some drivers.
Add new SPL versions of the options for DM_MMC, DM_MMC_OPS and BLK. By
default these follow their non-SPL versions, but this can be changed by
boards which need it.

When we don't have CONFIG_BLK defined we don't have a forward
declaration of struct udevice, and thus get a warning about it on
blk_get_from_parent(), which we only have when CONFIG_BLK is set. Move
the declaration of blk_get_from_parent() to be with the other CONFIG_BLK
parts.

There is quite a bit of duplicated common code related to block devices
in the IDE and SCSI implementations.
Create some helper functions that can be used to reduce the duplication.
These rely on a linker list of interface-type drivers

Add a block device cache to speed up repeated reads of block devices by
various filesystems.
This small amount of cache can dramatically speed up filesystem
operations by skipping repeated reads of common areas of a block
device (typically directory structures).
This has shown to have some benefit on FAT filesystem operations of
loading a kernel and RAM disk, but more dramatic benefits on ext4
filesystems when the kernel and/or RAM disk are spread across
multiple extent header structures as described in commit fc0fc50.
The cache is implemented through a minimal list (block_cache) maintained
in most-recently-used order and count of the current number of entries
(cache_count). It uses a maximum block count setting to prevent copies
of large block reads and an upper bound on the number of cached areas.
The maximum number of entries in the cache defaults to 32 and the maximum
number of blocks per cache entry has a default of 2, which has shown to
produce the best results on testing of ext4 and FAT filesystems.
The 'blkcache' command (enabled through CONFIG_CMD_BLOCK_CACHE) allows
changing these values and can be used to tune for a particular filesystem
layout.

To ease conversion to driver model, add helper functions which deal with

functions with the same arguments.

Since these are sequentially numbered it makes sense to use an enum. It
avoids having to maintain the maximum value, and provides a type we can use
if it is useful.
In fact the maximum value is not used. Rename it to COUNT, since MAX suggests
it is the maximum valid value, but it is not.
