Hi Jens, this series switches back from storing the gendisk + partno to storing a block_device pointer in struct bio. The reason is two fold: for one the new struct block_device actually is always available, removing the need to avoid originally. Second the merge struct block_device is much more useful than the old one, as storing it avoids the need for looking up what used to be hd_struct during partition remapping and I/O accounting. Note that this series depends on the posted but not merged "split hard read-only vs read-only policy" series.
