    Checkpoint of better dynamic device support. · deb24057
    Jeff Sharkey authored
    This is the first in a series of changes that are designed to
    introduce better support for dynamic block devices.
    
    It starts by defining a new Volume object which represents a storage
    endpoint that knows how to mount, unmount, and format itself.  This
    could be a filesystem directly on a partition, or it could be an
    emulated FUSE filesystem, an ASEC, or an OBB.
    
    These new volumes can be "stacked" so that unmounting a volume will
    also unmount any volumes stacked above it.  Volumes that provide
    shared storage can also be asked to present themselves (through bind
    mounts) into user-specific mount areas.
    
    This change also adds a Disk class which is created based on block
    kernel netlink events.  Instead of waiting for partition events from
    the kernel, it uses gptfdisk to read partition details and creates
    the relevant Volume objects.
