At this time attribute can still be in use (because refcounting is done
on drive->gendev), you need to add "disk" class to ide-disk driver
(drivers/scsi/st.c looks like a good example how to do it).

IMO this should also be handled by block layer
which has all needed information, Jens?
While at it: I think that sysfs support should be moved to block layer (queue
attributes) and storage driver should only need to provide queue_freeze_fn
and queue_thaw_fn functions (similarly to cache flush support). This should
be done now not later because this stuff is exposed to the user-space.

Why is this needed?
Overall, very promising work!
