8  * old style ubd by setting UBD_SHIFT to 0
9  * 2002-09-27...2002-10-18 massive tinkering for 2.5
10  * partitions have changed in 2.5
11  * 2003-01-29 more tinkering for 2.5.59-1
12  * This should now address the sysfs problems and has
13  * the symlink for devfs to allow for booting with
14  * the common /dev/ubd/discX/... names rather than
15  * only /dev/ubdN/discN this version also has lots of
16  * clean ups preparing for ubd-many.
