DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT shuffles SCSI and IDE device numbers and root
device number set using rdev become meaningless.  Root devices should
be explicitly specified using textual names.  Warn about it if root
can't be found and DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT is enabled.  Also, add warning
to the help text.

Some devices, like md, may create partitions only at first access,
so allow root= to be set to a valid non-existant partition of an
existing disk. This applies only to non-initramfs root mounting.

This fixes a regression from 2.6.24 which did allow this to happen and
broke some users machines :(

This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a
flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one

<id>bced95283e9434611cbad8f2ff903cd396eaea72</id>
<content type='text'>
The security_sb_post_mountroot() hook is long-since obsolete, and is
fundamentally broken: it is never invoked if someone uses initramfs.
This is particularly damaging, because the existence of this hook has
been used as motivation for not using initramfs.

Stephen Smalley confirmed on 2007-07-19 that this hook was originally
used by SELinux but can now be safely removed:
