Currently if we issue reboot to the system pblk will close
ungracefully and in consequence it will need recovery on load.

This patch propose utilize of reboot notifier feature to trigger
gracefull pblk shutdown on reboot.


To put in my two-penny worth, this seems unmotivated.

If user-land chooses to reboot, why should we delay the reboot in the
order of second(s)?
Recovering should be faster than padding anyway, so why not take the hit there?

Also, It's nice to be able to test OOB recovery by just rebooting the
system, and I have not found this sort of thing being done anywhere
else in the block layer.

I believe this is taken care of in user-space. E.g., /etc/rc0.d/ has all the scripts to properly close down file-systems, device mappers, etc. This should be handled at the distribution level.
