Fabio Massimo Di Nitto	d18d7682c1	[PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute. Some partitioning systems create special partitions that span the entire disk. One example are Sun partitions, and this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block and do other things. Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions, because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one. So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which we do not want. udev and friends can thus search for this 'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the partition.

[PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute.

Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
span the entire disk.  One example are Sun partitions, and
this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
and do other things.

Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
we do not want.  udev and friends can thus search for this
'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the
partition.

[DISKLABEL] SUN: Fix signed int usage for sector count

The current sun disklabel code uses a signed int for the sector count.
When partitions larger than 1 TB are used, the cast to a sector_t causes
the partition sizes to be invalid:

 # cat /proc/paritions | grep sdan
   66   112 2146435072 sdan
   66   115 9223372036853660736 sdan3
   66   120 9223372036853660736 sdan8

This patch switches the sector count to an unsigned int to fix this.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
