Looks good to me,

Looking at this code reminds me that we'll need a block dev lookup
function that takes a diskseq argument so we can lookup a block device
and check it against the diskseq number we provided so we can detect
"media" changes (images on a loop device etc). Idea being to pass
diskseq numbers via fsconfig().
