- * 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
