[PATCH 0/4] extend cdev alias support

[Sascha Hauer]

We recently introduced creating a "usbdisk" alias for USB storage
devices. This so far was incomplete: The alias was only created for the
whole raw device, but not for the partitions. As it's usually the
partitions one is interested in the alias was rather useless. Also
block devices automatically get an automount point registered under
/mnt/, and here the aliases were not added.

This series fixes both issues. A nice side effect is that GPT partitions
which already have a /dev/diskx.<partname> alias now get an automount
point registered with the same name as well. Just like the aliases in
devfs the aliases under /mnt/ just appear as symbolic links.
