By the way, I don't see anything in this patchset that lets userspace
discover the parent device. Since the old rule of

partition device = parent device + partition number

... no longer holds, this is a serious omission for something that is in
mainstream (and therefore *requires* that a new interface is deployed
for anything that cares.)

This will have to be addressed before 2.6.28 final.
