[PATCH v4 0/5] Introduce device_add_disk() to kill gendisk.driverfs_dev

[Dan Williams]

Changes since v3 [1]:

1/ Broke out the non-trivial conversions into their own patches.

2/ Fix a behavior change in arch/um/drivers/ubd_kern.c. This driver
   optionally creates parented and un-parented block devices.  (Bart)

3/ Fix a behavior change in drivers/mmc/card/block.c. This driver does
   not use blk-core infrastructure for partitions and instead registers
   partitions as gendisk-children of the whole device gendisk.
   Crediting Bart since his report triggered this re-review.

4/ Use the local CARD_TO_DEV() helper in drivers/block/rsxx/dev.c.

5/ Use the local 'dev' variable that represents the parent device in
   drivers/scsi/sd.c.

Answer the "// FIXME: remove" include/linux/genhd.h.  This should be
functionally equivalent to the previous state.  These patches received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot across 122 configs.
