partition_iterate itself is no problem. I mean, even probing itself isn't,
as long as we don't promise that any of it actually works. Accessing unknown
partition label as "hd0,1" implies we know the label type via probing; other
facilities that use probing don't necessarily imply that. For example, GRUB
could do:
grub> ls (hd0)
Possible msdos label: 1 2 3
Possible gpt label: 1 2
etc.
