fdisk is just scanning everything that it finds in /proc/partitions:
/*
* for fdisk -l:
* try all things in /proc/partitions that look like a full disk
*/
static void
print_all_partition_table_from_option(unsigned long sector_size)
This doesn't use the LVM2 filters so will continue to report for all
device-mapper devices when using '-l'.

Bryn.
