Cool.  One comment on the ubd_many patch - I'd prefer that it be split up.
There are changes in there which seem to have nothing to do with lots of
devices.  Also, some changes which do can be split out as no-op cleanup
patches - the &ubd[n] -> dev change is a good example.  That can be applied
now, and the actual many-devices change becomes tiny after that's done.
