Ick, you are right, sorry about this. We changed the class code to add
the class device name to the symlink, because of this very problem. I
forgot to convert the block code to do the same thing. Now, with the
patch below my system looks like:
$ ls -l /sys/block/uba/device/

This will also fix the problem for floppy devices, like Russell pointed
out. Look good to you?
thanks,

Subject: Driver core: Make block devices create the proper symlink name
Block devices need to add the block device name to the symlink they put
in the device directory, otherwise multiple symlinks of the same name
can be created. This matches the class system, which works the same
way, we just forgot to convert block at the same time.
