[PATCH 0/3] Handling DOS drives in mountmgr (try 2)

Hi,

This patch series moves drive handling over to mountmgr. Mountmgr will
now associate UNIX device files directly to its created devices instead
of having ntdll handle converting something like \??\D: to
$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/d::. This way, we can implement storage I/O
controls in mountmgr instead of ntdll, while the storage I/O controls
already in ntdll continue to work.

It also allows drivers to associate UNIX device files to their device
objects, paving the way for separating the driver code from ntdll.

Since nobody's said anything about my patches, I'll have to assume
they're good. (They work for me.)
