  • Make the following changes to partition check code.

    * Add ->bdev to struct parsed_partitions.

    * Introduce read_part_sector() which is a simple wrapper around
    read_dev_sector() which takes struct parsed_partitions *state
    instead of @bdev.

    * For functions which used to take @state and @bdev, drop @bdev. For
    functions which used to take @bdev, replace it with @state.

    * While updating, drop superflous checks on NULL state/bdev in ldm.c.

    This cleans up the API a bit and enables better handling of IO errors
    during partition check as the generic partition check code now has
    much better visibility into what went wrong in the low level code
    paths.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
