Hello,
this patch adds a pkt_find_dev() function for reusability and
groups all pkt_find*() functions.
Also pkt_remove_dev() can use now the device id of the mapped
block device to remove the mapping.

Note: patch 1/11 and 2/11 of this patch set were applied to 2.6.18-mm2 and
therefore are already in 2.6.18-mm3:

Why would that be desirable? I think it's better to implement this
feature in the user space tools and leave the kernel interface
simple.

Hello,
the idea was to simply allow
map block-dev-id to pktcdvd
and
unmap block-dev-id from pktcdvd
since this functionality can be implemented easily without costs in pkt_remove_dev()
But it is ok to put it into user space.
