can you guys please ACK/NACK this so that we can have an agreed upon solution
and so that I can stop applying it ontop of current git before testing any

Ah... right.  I missed removable devices.  I think it would be better to
just expand the table rather than recursing into __blkdev_get() again.
I'll try to come up with cleaner solution.

Sounds good. It should simply rescan partitions upon media change before it does
disk_get_part so that the ptbl is updated.

Also, I don't think the
discontinuous partition would be a problem.  ptbl is expanded to the
highest numbered partition not the number of partitions.  I'll test that
too.  Thanks.

You don't have to. I already did that with a harddrive in a external case over
usb and it works since upon connection the usb core rescans partitions and ptbl
is valid then.

Thanks.
