block: implement extended dev numbers
Implement extended device numbers. A block driver can tell block layer that it wants to use extended device numbers. After the usual minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's from EXT_BLOCK_MAJOR. Currently only one major number is allocated for this but as the allocation is strictly on-demand, ~1mil minor space under it should suffice unless the system actually has more than ~1mil partitions and if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is easy. Due to internal implementation issues, the first partition can't be allocated on the extended area. In other words, genhd->minors should at least be 1. This limitation will be lifted by later changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
