[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 12/16] drbd: introduce the "initialized" activity log transaction type

[Philipp Reisner]

From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg at linbit.com>

So we can initialize a clean on disk activity log area,
without the module complaining with loud assert messages
because of checksum or magic value mismatches.
