I'm having a look at the blkfront driver ; I guess I should be able to
hack it easily to support registering with md major number. That might
do the trick (even if it's not very nice).
Question : can a non-privilegied host manage a SCSI HBA (thru PCI
exclusions) or a IDE controller, and then directly mount SCSI or IDE
disks ? Or would blkfront "shadow" those device numbers and prevent
direct access to "real" disks ?
