Hi Jens,
this series adds a ->free_disk method to struct block_device_operation so that
drivers can defer freeing their disk private data until the gendisk goes away
and don't need to play games with the validity of ->private_data.
This also converts three simple drivers over as example, but eventually I
imagine that all drivers with private data will use it.
Changes since v1:
- fix a tag_set use after free in virtio_blk
