Re: [RFC PATCH] scsi, block: fix duplicate bdi name registration crashes

Hi Dan,

this looks mostly fine to me.  A few code comments below, but except
for this there is another issue with it:  We still have drivers
that share a single request_queue for multiple gendisks, so I wonder

Also I think you probably want one patch for the block framework,
and one to switch SCSI over to it.

Given that we have a user-supplied release callack I'd much rather get
rid of the kref here, use a normal atomic_t and pass the disk_devt
structure to the release callback then a kref.
