I don't like this at all. For one major/first_minor/minors are
optional and discouraged for new drivers. Setting the capacity is
a different thing and is done by helpers also used for revalidation
in many drivers.
It might make sense to pass the fops (and maybe private_data) to
blk_mq_alloc_disk / blk_alloc_disk, but even then I'm not quite
sure it is worth the churn.
