Oops, I forgot to write information about ext devt.

259 block Block extended device numbers

This is pool of dynamically allocated block device
numbers. Currently, ide and sd overflows into this
region if there are more partitions than the existing
device number scheme can accomodate, but any block
device can use it and it's not restricted to
overflows.

Thanks.
