    Subjectstop using ioctl_by_bdev for file system access to CDROMs v2
    Date
    Hi Jens,

    except for the DASD case under discussion the last users of ioctl_by_bdev
    are the file system drivers that want to query CDROM information using
    ioctls. This series switches them to use function calls directly into
    the CDROM midlayer instead, which implies:

    - adding a cdrom_device_info pointer to the gendisk, so that file systems
    can find it without going to the low-level driver first
    - ensuring that the CDROM midlayer (which isn't a lot of code) is built
    in if the file systems are built in so that they can actually call the
    exported functions

    Changes since v1:
    - fix up the no-CDROM error case in isofs_get_last_session to return 0
    instead of -EINVAL.
