* sapi/include/confdefs.h, libblock/include/rtems/bdbuf.h: Changed type of rtems_bdbuf_pool_configuration_size to size_t. * libblock/include/rtems/bdbuf.h, libblock/include/rtems/blkdev.h, libblock/include/rtems/diskdevs.h, libblock/src/bdbuf.c, libblock/src/blkdev.c, libblock/src/diskdevs.c: Buffer pool allocation is now cache aligned. The cache functions are currently not available on all platforms so the cache line size is fixed to 32 bytes for now. Changed various integer types which refer to block sizes, numbers and indexes. Fixed logical block indexes in buffer get and read function. It is now possible to delete logical disks. Modified documentation
