similar to: [PATCH 3/4] virtio_blk: implement a request-based ID command, VIRTIO_BLK_T_GET_ID

PCI, lguest and s390 can all only support 256-byte configuration space. So, this giant field broke just about everyone. Unfortunately, removing it is not so simple: we don't want to break old userspace, but we're going to want to re-use that part of the struct. So, modern users can #define VIRTIO_BLK_IDENTIFY_DEPRECATED to indicate that they know it's no longer in the config struct,

vhost-blk is an in-kernel virito-blk device accelerator. Due to lack of proper in-kernel AIO interface, this version converts guest's I/O request to bio and use submit_bio() to submit I/O directly. So this version any supports raw block device as guest's disk image, e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/ram0. We can add file based image support to vhost-blk once we have in-kernel AIO interface. There are

Create a new attribute for virtio-blk devices that will fetch the serial number of the block device. This attribute can be used by udev to create disk/by-id symlinks for devices that don't have a UUID (filesystem) associated with them. ATA_IDENTIFY strings are special in that they can be up to 20 chars long and aren't required to be NULL-terminated. The buffer is also zero-padded
