[PATCH 4/4] brd: add miscdevice to control creation and deletion of ram disks

From: Hannes Frederic Sowa
Date: Sat Oct 20 2012 - 14:32:33 EST


This patch adds the miscdevice /dev/brd-control with two ioctls:

1) BRD_CTL_ADD: Instantiates a new ram disk with a given size as
parameter. This parameter is filled in with the new minor id
on return.

2) BRD_CTL_DEL: Deletes a ram disk. Takes the minor id as parameter.
