Subject: Implement a proper block layer with partition support.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a03618133f7df0954802a470a4bee7674f7aed45;hp=a03618133f7df0954802a470a4bee7674f7aed45;p=pintos-anon

Implement a proper block layer with partition support.

This is in preparation for introducing new block devices, in
particular USB storage-based block devices so that Pintos can boot
from USB memory sticks on notebook and desktop PCs.

This block layer was inspired by one from Anthony Romano
<chz@vt.edu> but it has been extensively (perhaps entirely) rewritten.
Thus, bugs must certainly be blamed on the committer.
