    block: don't depend on consecutive minor space · f331c029

    * Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly
      access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.
    
      Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
      block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
      ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
      disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary.  However,
      convert them for consistency.
    
    * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
      genhd->minors.
    
    * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
      space.
    
    * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
      the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).
    
    These changes clean up the code and will help disk->part dereference
    fix and extended block device numbers.
