+ *  Code extracted from drivers/block/genhd.c
+ *  Copyright (C) 1991-1998  Linus Torvalds
+ *  Re-organised Feb 1998 Russell King
+ *
+ *  We now have independent partition support from the
+ *  block drivers, which allows all the partition code to
+ *  be grouped in one location, and it to be mostly self
+ *  contained.
+ *
+ *  Added needed MAJORS for new pairs, {hdi,hdj}, {hdk,hdl}
