Almost all callers of add_gendisk() were immediately followed by
register_disk(disk, mk_kdev(disk->major,disk->first_minor),
	      1<<disk->minor_shift, disk->fops, something);
The only exception (DAC960.c) massaged to that form.
New helper (add_disk(disk)) introduced and aforementioned sequence
replaced with
	set_capacity(disk, something);
	add_disk(disk);

pf switched to use of gendisk and cleaned up - we pass pointers to structures
instead of minors now.

pf.c fed through lindent

beginning of macroectomy in pf.c: RR and WR macros replaced with saner
inlines a-la pcd.c

mtdblock_ro switched to use of gendisk, both mtdblock.c and mtdblock_ro.c
slightly cleaned up.

jsflash switched to use of gendisk

assorted minor cleanups

devfs-related stuff moved from cdrom.c and cdrom drivers to register_disk();
new flag (GENHD_FL_CD) marks gendisks that need such treatment.

sbpcd switched to use of gendisk

mcdx switched to use of gendisk

mcd switched to use of gendisk, failure path in module_init cleaned up

cm206 switched to use of gendisk, failure path in module_init cleaned up

cdu31a switched to use of gendisk

pcd switched to use of gendisk

the attached patch (against BK-curr) fixes a bug in the new PID allocator,
which bug can cause incorrect hashing of the PID structure which causes
infinite loops in find_pid(). [and potentially other problems.]
