I committed that patch. The only significant issue i can find is the bmajor
lookup in cdgetdisklabel(). It was bluntly specifying the major 0 wich
resulted in ioctl's being issued on the wrong device!

Maybe a different path to get the CD devices major needs to be taken? If so,
then ata_raid's one is also broken since i looked at that code.

With regards,
