Add new BLKCOPY ioctl that offloads copying of one or more sources
ranges to a destination in the device. Accepts a 'copy_range' structure
that contains destination (in sectors), no of sources and pointer to the
array of source ranges. Each source range is represented by 'range_entry'
that contains

Initially I started moving the dm-kcopyd interface to the block layer
as a generic interface.
Once I dig deeper in dm-kcopyd code, I figured that dm-kcopyd is
tightly coupled with dm_io()
To move dm-kcopyd to block layer, it would also require dm_io code to
be moved to block layer.
It would cause

I agree with you. Will remove BLKDEV_COPY_NOEMULATION.
