Hi

This series of patches fixes some crashes in the block layer in device 
initialization when memory allocation fails.

The crashes were discovered during stress testing - we tried to create as 
many logical volumes as possible.

Note that there are still some places in the kernel where error handling 
is inadequate, for example add_disk or blk_register_region.
