Doug,
I was looking for an example of calls to scsi_bios_ptable()
and scsi_partsize() in the (forlorn) hope that they would
cure the missing partitions problem. So the code got cleaned
up a bit in the process.
Hopefully no-one tries to get a 140 GB ram disk with
scsi_debug! In practice the largest allocation would be
4 GB (or the largest number vmalloc() can take) on i386.
