Hello.

This patch adds a new kernel parameter (ignore_partitions=device) to
the kernel. It is useful when using a fake RAID with dmraid so that
Linux won't complain about attemps to access the drive beyond its
boundaries when udev and/or hald are started.

This seems broken. If nothing else, there should be ways to enable or
disable this at runtime.
