genhd: expose AN to user space
Allow user space to determine if a disk supports Asynchronous Notification
of
media changes. This is done by adding a new sysfs file "capability_flags",
which is documented in (insert file name). This sysfs file will export all
disk capabilities flags to user space. We also define a new flag to define
the media change notification capability.

+Generic Block Device Capability
+===============================================================================
+This file documents the sysfs file block/<disk>/capability
+
+capability is a hex word indicating which capabilities a specific disk
+supports. For more information on bits not listed here, see
+include/linux/genhd.h
+
+Capability Value
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+GENHD_FL_MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY 4
+ When this bit is set, the disk supports Asynchronous Notification
+ of media change events. These events will be broadcast to user
+ space via kernel uevent.
