Leave it alone for now. I'm one driver away from per-disk gendisks (i2o is the last remaining) and as soon as I'm done with it there will be a lot of changes in that area. I.e. tonight.
BTW, disk_name() and get_gendisk() will disappear from the export list, being replaced by partition_name() (taken out of md.c, exported and sans the "cache" - it doesn't give any benefits anymore).
