Andrew Morton 2363cc0264 [PATCH] remove protection of LANANA-reserved majors
Revert all this.  It can cause device-mapper to receive a different major from
earlier kernels and it turns out that the Amanda backup program (via GNU tar,
apparently) checks major numbers on files when performing incremental backups.

Which is a bit broken of Amanda (or tar), but this feature isn't important
enough to justify the churn.

Andrew Morton b446b60e4e [PATCH] rework reserved major handling
Several people have reported failures in dynamic major device number handling
due to the recent changes in there to avoid handing out the local/experimental
majors.

Rolf reports that this is due to a gcc-4.1.0 bug.

The patch refactors that code a lot in an attempt to provoke the compiler into
behaving.

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!
