Looks good to me. Only nitpicks are:
- ps3disk_priv should probably be an inline function instead of a macro
- ps3disk_open is not needed at all and should be removed completely.
- please remove PS3DISK_MAJOR - and just pass 0 to register_blkdev.
Passing 0 to get an unassigned dev_t range is the normal convention
and giving it a suprising symbolic names makes reading the code a
little harder.
- put_disk in ps3disk_remove should be done after you finished tearing
down the device, not before
- calling free_irq directly followed by request_irq in ps3disk_probe
looks rather dumb. I'd rather move the request_irq out of
ps3stor_setup into the low-level driver.
