The Storage subsystem, like the Audio and HID subsystems, exposes Unix
device files (for example, in the /dev directory). To ensure consistency
across the repository, we should make the Storage subsystem to reside in
the Kernel/Devices directory like the two other mentioned subsystems.
Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
In the near future, we will be able to figure out connections between
storage devices and their partitions, so there's no need to hardcode 16
partitions per storage device - each storage device should be able to
have "infinite" count of partitions in it, and we should be able to use
and figure out about them.
Everything in Kernel/Storage/Partition but DiskPartition has been moved
into LibPartiton. This makes the Partition directory unnecessary so
DiskPartition is moved up into Kernel/Storage.
