for 2.6.31-rc3: ensure that AoE minor address is supported

Description:

This change improves diagnostic messages in the mainline kernel, where the driver is still limited to 16 slot addresses per shelf address.  Once dynamic system minor device numbers are put into the mainline aoe driver, this restriction will be eliminated.

Status:

This change has been announced on the Linux Kernel Mailing List and pushed to the linux-next tree.
