of_device is just a #define alias to platform_device.  This patch
replaces all references to it with platform_device.

.name, .match_table and .owner are duplicated in both of_platform_driver
and device_driver.  This patch is a removes the extra copies from struct
of_platform_driver and converts all users to the device_driver members.

This patch is a pretty mechanical change.  The usage model doesn't change
and if any drivers have been missed, or if anything has been fixed up
incorrectly, then it will fail with a compile time error, and the fixup
will be trivial.  This patch looks big and scary because it touches so
many files, but it should be pretty safe.

The following structure elements duplicate the information in
'struct device.of_node' and so are being eliminated.  This patch
makes all readers of these elements use device.of_node instead.

(struct of_device *)-&gt;node
(struct dev_archdata *)-&gt;prom_node (sparc)
(struct dev_archdata *)-&gt;of_node (powerpc &amp; microblaze)

<title>block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size</title>

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

DDR2 memory DIMMs on the Axon could be accessed only as one partition
when using file system drivers which are using the direct_access() method.
This patch enables for such file system drivers to access Axon's DDR2 memory
even if it is splitted in several partitions.

Axonram module registers one block device for each DDR2 DIMM found
on a system. This means that each DDR2 DIMM becomes its own block device
major number. This patch lets axonram module to register the only one
block device for all DDR2 DIMMs which also spares kernel resources.

<title>return pfn from direct_access, for XIP</title>

Alter the block device -&gt;direct_access() API to work with the new
get_xip_mem() API (that requires both kaddr and pfn are returned).

Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page() for use
by XIP (to translate from the kernel virtual address returned by
direct_access(), to a user mappable pfn in XIP's page fault handler.

However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr, because
we have no good way to get a kva from a pfn, and XIP requires the kva for its
read(2) and write(2) handlers.  So we have to return both.
