This patch series (inspired by SCST) adds support for the dummy devices
via the new DUMMY flag of rd_mcp. The rationale behind the change is to
give a user the ability to create conifgurable devices for LUN 0 with
custom WWN values (like vendor, product or revision) as some tools like
QConvergeGUI use LUN 0 to identify the whole storage.

The advantage over simply creating a NULLIO rd_mcp device is that the
DUMMY device will not be seen as a block device, hence less confusion
for the system administrator.
