Subject: Re: [PATCH] Replace obscure constructs in fs/block_dev.c

Hi,

please ignore the last revision of this patch. There were some places where
semantics where changed instead of just presentation.  Also the bd_claim()
'fixup' was reverted, due to a misunderstanding of the code.

This patch replaces some funky codepaths in fs/block_dev.c with cleaner
versions of the affected places.
