Yehuda Sadeh dfc5606dc5 rbd: replace the rbd sysfs interface
The new interface creates directories per mapped image
and under each it creates a subdir per available snapshot.
This allows keeping a cleaner interface within the sysfs
guidelines. The ABI documentation was updated too.

Description:
Being used for adding and removing rbd block devices.
Usage: <mon ip addr> <options> <pool name> <rbd image name> [snap name]
$ echo "192.168.0.1 name=admin rbd foo" > /sys/bus/rbd/add
The snapshot name can be "-" or omitted to map the image read/write. A <dev-id>
will be assigned for any registered block device. If snapshot is used, it will
be mapped read-only.
Removal of a device:
$ echo <dev-id> > /sys/bus/rbd/remove
Entries under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/
--------------------------------------------
client_id
The ceph unique client id that was assigned for this specific session.
major
The block device major number.
name
The name of the rbd image.
pool
The pool where this rbd image resides. The pool-name pair is unique
per rados system.
size
The size (in bytes) of the mapped block device.
refresh
Writing to this file will reread the image header data and set
all relevant datastructures accordingly.
current_snap
The current snapshot for which the device is mapped.
create_snap
Create a snapshot:
$ echo <snap-name> > /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/snap_create
rollback_snap
Rolls back data to the specified snapshot. This goes over the entire
list of rados blocks and sends a rollback command to each.
$ echo <snap-name> > /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/snap_rollback
snap_*
A directory per each snapshot
Entries under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/snap_<snap-name>
-------------------------------------------------------------
id
The rados internal snapshot id assigned for this snapshot
size
The size of the image when this snapshot was taken.
