Partition tables aren't just read at bootup. We also adjust partition

So this is something that should be done with a sysctl? Anyway, it
should also be possible to disable it already at bootup.

Well you have:

- Bootup
- Module insertion
- Removable device insertion
- Partition table change

... to be concerned with.
