9c867fbe06 partitions: fix sometimes unreadable partition strings
Fix this garbage happening quite often:

==>	 sda:
	scsi 3:0:0:0: CD-ROM            TOSHIBA
==>	 sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 <sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
			    ^^^
	Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
	sr 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
==>	 sda5 sda6 sda7 >

Make "sda: sda1 ..." lines actually lines.

1493bf217f block: use struct parsed_partitions *state universally in partition check code
Make the following changes to partition check code.

* Add ->bdev to struct parsed_partitions.

* Introduce read_part_sector() which is a simple wrapper around
  read_dev_sector() which takes struct parsed_partitions *state
  instead of @bdev.

* For functions which used to take @state and @bdev, drop @bdev.  For
  functions which used to take @bdev, replace it with @state.

* While updating, drop superflous checks on NULL state/bdev in ldm.c.

This cleans up the API a bit and enables better handling of IO errors
during partition check as the generic partition check code now has
much better visibility into what went wrong in the low level code
paths.

d18d7682c1 [PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute.
Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
span the entire disk.  One example are Sun partitions, and
this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
and do other things.

Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
we do not want.  udev and friends can thus search for this
'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the
partition.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
