  Hi,

The current virtblk's naming algorithm just supports 26^3
disks. If there are mass of virtblks(exceeding 26^3), there
will be disks with the same name.

According to "sd_format_disk_name()", I add function
"virtblk_name_format()" for virtblk to support mass of
disks.

Nod. This is basically what 3e1a7ff8a0a7b948f2684930166954f9e8e776fe
did. Except, maybe we should move this function into block core
instead of duplicating it? Where would be a good place to put it?

Yes, this was also what I thought.

How about placing the "sd_format_disk_name()"
as "disk_name_format()" into "block/genhd.c"
("include/linux/genhd.h")?

Thanks.
Ren
