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.
This change in fact does the following:
1. Use support for symlinks between /sys/dev/block/ storage device
identifier nodes and devices in /sys/devices/storage/{LUN}.
2. Add basic nodes in a /sys/devices/storage/{LUN} directory, to let
userspace to know about the device and its details.
This enforces us to remove duplicated code across the SysFS code. This
results in great simplification of how the SysFS works now, because we
enforce one way to treat SysFSDirectory objects.
This folder in the SysFS code represents everything related to /sys/dev,
which is a directory meant to be a convenient interface to track all IDs
of all block and character devices (ID = major:minor numbers).
