OK, I'm happy to squash everything together, and repost a series with
both your and my patches; I separated it out to hopefully make working
out what changes I made a little easier.

I did wonder about creating separate get_device, get_partition, and
get_device_or_partition functions, the latter probably using a common
implementation. I guess if I squash my changes into your original
patches, then creating those 3 separate functions would end up being
less churn. So, unless there are objections, I'll do that.
