OK, this all went quiet again.
The choices are between the current patch from Kurt which is limited to
16 partitions, or a new patch (which no-one has yet produced) to raise
us to 64 partitions on a new major number with a switching scheme.
Kurt, since you're pushing the patch, which do you want me to do? Apply
your current patch for 16 or wait for a new one for 64?
