* i386/i386at/gpl/linux/linux_block.c: Rewritten extensively. (collect_buffer_pages): Deleted. (alloc_buffer, free_buffer): Rewritten to use Mach page allocator. (getblk, __brelse): Use Mach kernel allocator. (check_for_error): Deleted. (ll_rw_block): Allocate request structure on stack. (rdwr_partial, rdwr_full, do_rdwr) New routines. (block_read, block_write): Rewritten to use new routine do_rdwr. (find_name): New routine. (read_bsd_label, read_vtoc): New routines. (init_partition): New routine. (device_open): Rewritten for modularity. Allocate Linux block variables on the stack. (check_limit): New routine. (device_read, device_write): Rewritten extensively. Map user pages into kernel buffer before passing to driver. This is in preparation for general Linux block driver support. Allocate Linux block variables on the stack. * i386/i386at/gpl/linux/linux_kmem.c: (collect_buffer_pages): Deleted.
