I received a complaint that some FAT formated medias (e.g. sd memory cards)
trigger a "unknown partition table" message even though there is no partition
table and they work correctly, while in general (when e.g. formated with
mkdosfs or even Windows Vista) this message is not shown.
Currently this seems only to happen when the medias get formatted with Windows
XP (and possibly Win 2000). Then the boot indicator byte contains garbage
(part of text message) and so do the other parts checked by msdos_paritition
which then later triggers this message.
References: novell bug #364365
Most fat formatted media without partition table contains zeros in the boot
indication and the other tested bytes and so falls through the checks in
msdos_partition, leading it to return with 1 (all is fine).
But some (e.g. WinXP formatted) fat fomated medias don't use boot_ind and so
the check fails and causes a "unkown partition table" warning eventhough there
is none and everything would be fine.
This additional check directly verifies if there is a fat formatted medium
without a partition table.

Userspace likes to get notified that the disk may have changed, when
rescan_partitions() is called after partitioning or media change. It will
make it possible to update the state of the disk with the "change" event,
before the following partition "add" events are handled.

The "whole_disk" attribute was not properly converted in the block
device conversion earlier, and if the file is read, bad things can
happen. This patch fixes this, making the attribute an empty one,
preserving the original functionality.
Many thanks to David Miller for finding this, and pointing me in the
proper place within the block code to look.

This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a
flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one
directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks
to the disks.

A number of different drivers incorrect access the kobject name field
directly. This is not correct as the name might not be in the array.
Use the proper accessor function instead.
Start doing VTOC validation before using its contents.
The validation is adjusted so as not to break existing setups
that do not set the VTOC version, sanity and partition count entries.
VTOC tables with more than 8 partitions will NOT be used.

Correct the Solaris x86 number of partitions (slices) is a way that is
backward compatible with the earlier size.
This works without a new VTOC structure definition as the timestamp
and v_asciilabel fields in the VTOC are not used by the kernel yet.

Teach LDM about a new field encountered with Windows Vista.
This fixes LDM for people using Vista who have disabled drive letter
assignment from one or more volumes. Doing this introduces a so far
unknown field in the LDM database in the VOL5 VBLK structure which
causes the LDM driver to fail to parse the VBLK structure and hence LDM
fails to parse the disk altogether. This patch teaches the driver about
this field.
Thanks got to Ashton Mills <amills@iinet.com.au> for reporting the
problem and working with me on getting it fixed. It is now working for
him.

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.
For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.
