SubjectSparse minor space in ub
I wrote a patch which allows to expand the number of partitions in ub
without breaking compatibility with the existing non-udev based
distributions.

I do not know if I want this in the kernel or not. Looks pretty fishy,
and its reason to exist is my lack of foresight. So far I heard from
one user only who hit the limit, so obviously it's not something
vitally important.

But I thought I'd just throw this out in case anyone wants something
similar in the future for any reason.

Here how it looks in shell:

[zaitcev@lembas ~]$ cat /proc/partitions

By the way, when I looked at the way things work in kobj_lookup(),
a thought occured to me. If floppy ever returns NULL from its match
function floppy_find(), the whole thing is going to loop endlessly.
This happens because we restart the search, which, I suspect, was
done to accomodate md. The md_probe() always returns NULL, and
inserts new arrays into the list of regions. Thus, it needs a rescan.
Someone needs to think about this mechanism, it seems a little
underdeveloped. I have no idea if my patch below implements the
lock/match API correctly, especially in regards to locking.
