Hi Andrew,
This patch adds a proc file for viodasd so to make it
easier to enumerate the available disks. It is in a
(somewhat) strange format to try for a simple level of
compatability with the old viodasd code (that was in a
couple of vendor's kernels).
Exporting redundant information from procfs is a step backwards, since
we have sysfs.
I would prefer not to apply this. Upstream is for 'getting it right',
not for dragging every little vendor kernel hack along.
