Christoph Hellwig a885c8c431 [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method
HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.

[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets ->start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.
