In this patch-set we deal with the following issues: 1) While a Linux guest on Hyper-V can be assigned removable media devices (DVD, floppy etc), these devices are not handled by the Hyper-V block driver. So, we cleanup all the dead code dealing with removable media devices. 2) There were multiple functions to retrieve information about the device. Since much of the code in these functions were identical, we have consolidated these functions into a single function. 3) Enable the ioctl code for handling HDIO_GET_IDENTITY 4) Cleanup the code for getting the geometry. 5) Cleanup code for retreiving device capacity; this has also fixed a bug with regards to presenting physical disks to the guest as an IDE disk. 6) General cleanup: simplify blkvsc_init_rw(), get rid of unnecessary DPRINT*() calls, get rid of unnecessary code, cleanup blkvsc_open(). 7) Remove all IDE details from blkvsc_drv.c.
