Just a couple of notes:
- I would have done the small internal behaviour change of the
  extraarg parameter of call_blockdev in an own commit, so it isn't
  tangled with the API addition
- should there be some get counterpart, like blockdev_getra?
- don't forget to commit MAX_PROC_NR together with this

Otherwise, LGTM.
