Rework of handling disk like media

This patch stack reworks the handling of disk like media (hard disks, USB mass storage, SD/MMC cards). It should simplify the code by using the generic blockdevice layer.
Also partition handling is now a separate step to provide more partition types than the D*S one in the future.
At the end of this series support for a subset of ATA devices and their interface is added.

Comments are welcome.

The following changes since commit e3920f1c2fe0ca56dbbc659eeda43254434e0d91:

  Merge branch 'pu/mci/multiblock-write' into next (2011-11-11 16:18:34 +0100)

Juergen Beisert (13):
      USB Mass Storage driver: Fix compile time warning
      Create a unique cdev number for on demand devices
      ATA/DISK: Add generic disk support when enabling the BIOS disk driver
      ATA/DISK: Enabling write support does not belong to 'drive types'
      ATA/DISK: Reorganize file structure and names for future updates
      ATA/DISK: The BIOS based disk driver is not an interface
      ATA/DISK: Share important constants and structures
      DISK: Add common partition handling for disk like media
      Use generic block layer to access the drives and do partition parsing
      Remove 'disk_drive.c' as it is now replaced by generic partition handling
      ATA/DISK: Remove the now unused header <ata.h>
      ATA Disk Support: Add support for native ATA type drives
      Add driver for IDE like interfaces
