+ * General concept of alias management:
+ * - PAV and DASD alias management is specific to the eckd discipline.
+ * - A device is connected to an lcu as long as the device exists.
+ *   dasd_alias_make_device_known_to_lcu will be called wenn the
+ *   device is checked by the eckd discipline and
+ *   dasd_alias_disconnect_device_from_lcu will be called
+ *   before the device is deleted.
+ * - The dasd_alias_add_device / dasd_alias_remove_device
+ *   functions mark the point when a device is 'ready for service'.
+ * - A summary unit check is a rare occasion, but it is mandatory to
+ *   support it. It requires some complex recovery actions before the
+ *   devices can be used again (see dasd_alias_handle_summary_unit_check).
+ * - dasd_alias_get_start_dev will find an alias device that can be used
+ *   instead of the base device and does some (very simple) load balancing.
+ *   This is the function that gets called for each I/O, so when improving
+ *   something, this function should get faster or better, the rest has just
+ *   to be correct.
