Eduard Shishkin 47460e6e33 zipl/src: Support md-partitions as zipl targets
This patch adds support for zipl targets over partitions of md-devices.
With this patch it is possible to specify a zipl target over any
partition of an md-device, so that all the physical disks participating
in the mirrored setup will be prepared for IPL.

Unlike a whole md-device which has major number 9, its partitions
have major numbers 259 and the driver name is identified as 'blkext'
in '/proc/devices'. Handle this case in set_driver_name(): call ioctl()
to make sure that device is an md-partition.

Drop re-definition of some macros.
