Too late, I'm afraid.
The de facto standard names are already known to the kernel (cf:
init/main.c::name_to_kdev_t(), just for an example) and it is
somewhat silly to have this one place spit out a magic code after
the kernel has just finished telling you (for example)
sda : READ CAPACITY failed.
sda : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 28
sda : extended sense code = 2
sda : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB.
Partition check:
sda:scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
unable to read partition table
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
