Define an osd_dev_info structure that Uniquely identifies an OSD
device lun on the network. The identification is built from unique
target attributes and is the same for all network/SAN machines.
osduld_info_lookup() - NEW
New API that will lookup an osd_dev by its osd_dev_info.
This is used by pNFS-objects for cross network global device
identification. And by exofs multy-device support, the device
info is specified in the on-disk exofs device table.
osduld_device_info() - NEW
Given an osd_dev handle returns its associated osd_dev_info.
The ULD fetches this information at startup and hangs it on
each OSD device. (This is a fast operation that can be called
at any condition)
osduld_device_same() - NEW
With a given osd_dev at one hand and an osd_dev_info
at another, we would like to know if they are the same
device.
Two osd_dev handles can be checked by:
osduld_device_same(od1, osduld_device_info(od2));
osd_auto_detect_ver() - REVISED
Now returns an osd_dev_info structure. Is only called once
by ULD as before. See added comments for how to use.
