Something like this in aix_label_present should do it, beside
echo > /dev/sda
struct partition *pt = (struct partition *) (p + 0x1be);
int slot;
for (slot = 1; slot <= 4; slot++, pt++) {
if (pt->sys_ind == LINUX_SWAP_PARTITION ||
pt->sys_ind == LINUX_RAID_PARTITION ||
pt->sys_ind == 0x83 ||
pt->sys_ind == 0x8e ||
is_extended_partition(pt))
return 0;
