[SRU][Xenial][PATCH 0/1] bcache: partition support: add 16 minors per bcacheN device

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705493

== SRU Justification ==
Multiple partitions are not supported on a bcache device.  Commit b8c0d911ac5
adds this support.  This fix will prevent usage of multiple partitions on 
the same device which is the case when data and journal are collocated.

Also, the lack of this feature prevents dmcrypt usage as multiple partitions 
are created on a device in this case.

This commit is in mainline as of v10-rc1.

== Fix ==
commit b8c0d911ac5285e6be8967713271a51bdc5a936a

    bcache: partition support: add 16 minors per bcacheN device

== Regression Potential ==
This is a small change that just adds 16 minors per bcacheN device, so risk is low.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
