ts 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.
