Initialization

 

Initialization of block devices is a bit more complex than initialization of character devices, especially as some ``initialization'' has to be done at compile time. There is also a register_blkdev() call that corresponds to the character device register_chrdev() call, which the driver must call to say that it is present, working, and active.
