      [PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute. · d18d7682
      Fabio Massimo Di Nitto authored
      Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
      span the entire disk.  One example are Sun partitions, and
      this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
      extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
      and do other things.
      
      Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
      because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
      So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
      we do not want.  udev and friends can thus search for this
      'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the
      partition.
