dasd_read functionality having 280 lines of code out of which 170 lines
of code for FBA kind of disks.

The dasd_read's FBA code can not be copied so easily, because it takes
care of similar disks and many other conditions.
I feel better to call dasd_read from dasd_alloc in the case of FBA disk.

Sending second version of the patch.
