+ * 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
