> bdops->set_capacity() is unnecessarily generic. All that's required
> is a simple one way notification to lower level driver telling it to
> try to unlock native capacity. There's no reason to pass in target
> capacity or return the new capacity. The former is always the
> inherent native capacity and the latter can be handled via the usual
> device resize / revalidation path. In fact, the current API is always
> used that way.
>
> Replace ->set_capacity() with ->unlock_native_capacity() which take
> only @disk and doesn't return anything. IDE which is the only current
> user of the API is converted accordingly.
