Like the SUBSYTEM= key we find in the environment of the uevent, this
creates a generic "subsystem" link in sysfs for every device. Userspace
usually doesn't care at all if its a "class" or a "bus" device. This
provides an unified way to determine the subsytem of a device, regardless
of the way the driver core has created it.

Make sure to clear the driverfs_dev pointer when we do del_gendisk() (on
disk removal), so that other users that may still have a ref to the disk
won't try to use the stale pointer.
Also move the KOBJ_REMOVE uevent handler up, so that the uevent still
has access to the driverfs_dev data.
This all should hopefully fix the problems with MMC umounts after device
removals that caused commit 56cf6504fc and
its reversal (1a2acc9e92).
Original problem reported by Todd Blumer and others.

[BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned
Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the
disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already
created and sysfs is populated.
We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we
probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the
same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition
devices.
Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not
at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed
events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when
we find already present partitions.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

Yes, the CONFIG_SYSFS=n data structures will be a little larger than

DASD allows to open a device as soon as gendisk is registered, which means the
device is a fake device (capacity=0) and we do know nothing about blocksize
and partitions at that point of time. In case the device is opened by
someone, the bdev and inode creation is done with the fake device info and the
following partition detection code is just using the wrong data.
To avoid this modify the DASD state machine to make sure that the open is
rejected until the device analysis is either finished or an unformatted device
was detected.

The Rio Karma portable MP3 player has its own proprietary partition table.
The partition layout is similar to a DOS boot sector but it begins at a
different offset and uses a different magic number (0xAB56 instead of
0xAA55). Add support for it to enable mounting the device.

balamurugan reported a problem where it was possible to have
the various Acorn partition types selected in the configuration,
but ACORN_PARTITION disabled. Since ACORN_PARTITION controls
whether we build fs/partitions/acorn.c, this lead to undefined
references to the adfspart_check_TYPE symbols.
Fix this by making the Acorn partition type symbols depend on
ACORN_PARTITION.

Block devices need to add the block device name to the symlink they put
in the device directory, otherwise multiple symlinks of the same name
can be created. This matches the class system, which works the same
way, we just forgot to convert block at the same time.

Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two
into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch
several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the
actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in
just the core (not counting the various drivers).

struct gendisk has these two fields: stamp, stamp_idle. Update to
stamp_idle is always in sync with stamp and they are always the same.
Therefore, it does not add any value in having two fields tracking
same timestamp. Suggest to remove it.
Also, we should only update gendisk stats with non-zero value.
Advantage is that we don't have to needlessly calculate memory address,
and then add zero to the content.

This change from March 3rd causes the partition parsing code to ignore
partitions which have a signature byte of zero. Turns out that more people
have such partitions than we expected, and their device numbering is coming up
wrong in post-2.6.11 kernels.
So revert the change while we think about the problem a bit more.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
