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.
