[RFC/PATCH 1/5] bdev: execute in place (V2)
This patch introduces a new block device operation called direct_access.
It is used to retrieve a reference to the data on disk behind a given
sector. This reference is supposed to be cpu addressable, physical
address, and remain valid until release is called.
This patch also implements this operation for our dcssblk device driver.
Changes from previous version: none

this should have a block_device * first argument.

While I agree that (block_device *) would be a good thing to address
the target block device, the inode * is consistent with other
operations in this vector: open, release, & ioctl use the same scheme.
The reason for inode * here is that the caller has no easy way to get
to the block_device *. How would the filesystem do that?

That's going to change real soon.
