Ad a): true.
Ad b): if you only make this change then it will be faster or slower
depending on how many disks you have (because get_gendisk() used
to be a linear search through a list that has as length the number
of disk majors); however, my get_gendisk today is
static inline struct gendisk *
get_gendisk(kdev_t dev) {
return blk_gendisk[MAJOR(dev)];
}
hence is faster.
