I had a look at the problem of finding the devices representing the partitions of a block device, and it's a messy problem. There are a lot of different conventions that are used depending on what kind of device is partitioned. The following patch seems like a promising approach, but before I spend a bunch of time testing that it works in a variety of cases, I thought I should send it out for comment.
