Replace bd_partno with a 32bit field (__bd_flags). The lower 8 bits
contain the partition number, the upper 24 are for flags.
Helpers: bdev_{test,set,clear}_flag(bdev, flag), with atomic_or()
and atomic_andnot() used to set/clear.
NOTE: this commit does not actually move any flags over there - they
are still bool fields. As the result, it shifts the fields wrt
cacheline boundaries; that's going to be restored once the first
3 flags are dealt with.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
