Re: [PATCH] Drivemap module

[Javier Martín]

In this reply-to-myself hoping to keep the thread continuity, I put
forth the new "version 7" of the patch with the following changes:

  - A new switch -s/--swap has been implemented, so that running
"drivemap -s hd0 hd1" is equivalent to issuing the command twice with
the arguments normal, then reversed. There is one exception: if the
first mapping fails or the second drive does not exist, no mapping is
performed, whereas hand-performing the swap would have successfully
assigned BIOS disk #1 to hd0, then failed to assign bd#0 to non-existent
hd1.
  - Raw BIOS disk number parsing has been removed: the syntax "drivemap
hd1 0x80" is no longer legal. However, one can still map non-existent
BIOS disk numbers with "drivemap hd0 hd42" for example and (more
controversially, maybe I'll add a check eventually) assign a floppy to
an HD and back.

The only file changed from the last patch ("version 6") is drivemap.c:
the rest of it should be the same, so if anyone was reviewing it you can
seamlessly "jump" to version 7. In particular, the functional changes
are localized in the drivemap_cmd function proper, and there are
cosmetic changes elsewhere (spurious tabs removed, etc.).
