Subject: uml ubd driver: convert do_ubd to a boolean variable
From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>
do_ubd is actually just a boolean variable - the way it is used currently is a
leftover from the old 2.4 block layer, but it is still used; its use is
suspicious, but removing it would be too intrusive for now and needs more
thinking.
