[PATCH] partition table flush/read cleanup
Big One. Flushing/rereading partition tables is taken from ->revalidate() for partitioned devices; now it's done in the caller (check_disk_change()). BLKRRPART handling also moved out of drivers - they are still allowed to override it (DAC960 and i2o are the only remaining ones), but common case is handled in fs/block_dev.c. Note: we are still only shifting stuff - bd_sem deadlocks in check_disk_change() are still there. However, now we have all relevant code outside of drivers and that will allow to fix the thing (see next patches).
