+ Conventionally, block device numbers are allocated from
+ predetermined contiguous area. However, extended block area
+ may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers. This
+ option forces most block device numbers to be allocated from
+ the extended space and spreads them to discover kernel or
+ userland code paths which assume predetermined contiguous
+ device number allocation.
+
+ Note that turning on this debug option shuffles all the
+ device numbers for all IDE and SCSI devices including libata
+ ones, so root partition specified using device number
+ directly (via rdev or root=MAJ:MIN) won't work anymore.
+ Textual device names (root=/dev/sdXn) will continue to work.
