    [SCSI] osd_uld: Bump MAX_OSD_DEVICES from 64 to 1,048,576 · 41f8ad76

    It used to be that minors where 8 bit. But now they
    are actually 20 bit. So the fix is simplicity itself.
    
    I've tested with 300 devices and all user-mode utils
    work just fine. I have also mechanically added 10,000
    to the ida (so devices are /dev/osd10000, /dev/osd10001 ...)
    and was able to mkfs an exofs filesystem and access osds
    from user-mode.
    
    All the open-osd user-mode code uses the same library
    to access devices through their symbolic names in
    /dev/osdX so I'd say it's pretty safe. (Well tested)
    
    This patch is very important because some of the systems
    that will be deploying the 3.2 pnfs-objects code are larger
    than 64 OSDs and will stop to work properly when reaching
    that number.
