[PATCH] MD - Get rid of dev in rdev and use bdev exclusively.
Get rid of dev in rdev and use bdev exclusively. There is an awkwardness here in that userspace sometimes passed down a dev_t (e.g. hot_add_disk) and sometime a major and a minor (e.g. add_new_disk). Should we convert both to kdev_t as the uniform standard.... That is what was being done but it seemed very clumsy and things were gets converted back and forth a lot. As bdget used a dev_t, I felt safe in staying with dev_t once I had one rather than converting to kdev_t and back.
