block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct
I'm reposting this patch series as v4 since there have been no additional comments, and I cleaned up one extra bit of unneeded code (in 3/3). The patches are against Linus's tree: 2bfc96a127bc1cc94d26bfaa40159966064f9c8c (2.6.36-rc3). Would this patchset be suitable for inclusion in an mm branch? This changes adds a partition_meta_info struct which itself contains a union of structures that provide partition table specific metadata. This change leaves the union empty. The subsequent patch includes an implementation for CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION-based metadata. Signed-off-by: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
