  Graft AIX partitions enumeration into partitions/msdos.c

  There is already a AIX disks detection logic in msdos.c. When an AIX disk
  has been found, and if configured to, call the aix partitions recognizer.
  This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code
  duplication, and ensures that AIX partitions enumeration is called before
  plain msdos partitions enumeration.

• 86ee8ba64   block/partition/msdos: detect AIX formatted disks even without 55aa ... Browse Code »

  AIX formatted disks do not always have the MSDOS 55aa signature.
  This happens e.g. for unbootable AIX disks.

  Up to now, such disks were not recognized as AIX disks, because of the
  missing 55aa. Fix that by inverting the two tests. Let's first
  check for the AIX magic strings, and only if that fails check for
  the MSDOS magic word.

• d33b98fc8   block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitions ... Browse Code »

  The MSDOS/MBR partition table includes a 32-bit unique ID, often referred
  to as the NT disk signature. When combined with a partition number within
  the table, this can form a unique ID similar in concept to EFI/GPT's
  partition UUID. Constructing and recording this value in struct
  partition_meta_info allows MSDOS partitions to be referred to on the
  kernel command-line using the following syntax:

  root=PARTUUID=0002dd75-01
