This patch introduces basic shared block storage support. It introduces a new storage backend, bdev.PersistentBlockDevice, to use as a backend for shared block storage. The new bdev requires a new BLOCKDEV_DRIVER_MANUAL constant with the value "manual" and uses it as the first part of the block device unique_id. A new disk template, DT_BLOCK is introduced as well and added to DTS_EXT_MIRROR and DTS_MAY_ADOPT. Also added DTS_MUST_ADOPT constant and use it to check for the presence of the adopt keyword during LU invocation. We enforce the /dev/disk limitation upon adoption, but we allow block devices to reside anywhere under /dev. This is very basic support and includes no storage manipulation (provisioning, resizing, renaming) which will have to be implemented through a "driver" framework. Signed-off-by:
