virtio_blk: Dont waste major numbers 



Rusty,

currently virtio_blk uses one major number per device. While this works
quite well on most systems it is wasteful and will exhaust major numbers
on larger installations.

This patch allocates a major number on init and will use 16 minor numbers
for each disk. That will allow ~64k virtio_blk disks.
