Since we have had a LANANA major number for years, and it is documented in
devices.txt, I think that this first patch can go upstream.Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner

Implement extended device numbers. A block driver can tell block
layer that it wants to use extended device numbers. After the usual
minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's
from EXT_BLOCK_MAJOR.Currently only one major number is allocated for this but as the
allocation is strictly on-demand, ~1mil minor space under it should
suffice unless the system actually has more than ~1mil partitions and
if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is
easy.Due to internal implementation issues, the first partition can't be
allocated on the extended area. In other words, genhd->minors should
at least be 1. This limitation will be lifted by later changes.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Currently, linux/major.h defines a GRAPHDEV_MAJOR (29) that nobody uses,
and linux/fb.h defines the real FB_MAJOR (also 29), that only fbmem.c
needs. Drop GRAPHDEV_MAJOR from major.h, move FB_MAJOR definition from
fb.h to major.h, and fix fbmem.c to use major.h's definition.Signed-off-by: Philippe De Muyter

Today I wondered about /dev/parport after not seeing anything in
drivers/parport register char-major-99. Having PP_MAJOR in
include/linux/major.h would've allowed me to more quickly determine that it
was the ppdev driver driving these.Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

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!
