+ * Partition table and disk geometry handling

+ * A single ioctl with lots of subfunctions:
+ *
+ * Device number stuff:
+ * get_whole_disk() (given the device number of a partition,
+ * find the device number of the encompassing disk)
+ * get_all_partitions() (given the device number of a disk, return the
+ * device numbers of all its known partitions)
+ *
+ * Partition stuff:
+ * add_partition()
+ * delete_partition()
+ * test_partition_in_use() (also for test_disk_in_use)
+ *
+ * Geometry stuff:
+ * get_geometry()
+ * set_geometry()
+ * get_bios_drivedata()
+ *
+ * For today, only the partition stuff - aeb, 990515
