I took a "merged" fix from Minchan (over 2 years ago!) not because the
related genhd changed are "too big" but rather "too invasive". When I
reviewed that patched it seemed to me that the additional changes it
needed for backport weren't worth it as most of the code it touches is
irrelevant for this fix.
But if now we're going to be getting more fixes that rely on that genhd
patch then let's revert the previous fix and take all the patches
separately.
