Subject: [PATCH] TiVo partition support

While trying to work out a problem with my Series 2 TiVo, I noticed
that recent kernels still don't have support for the modified Mac
partition table the TiVos use.  Below is a lightly tested patch for
2.6.17 (which applies cleanly to 2.6.18 also) that adds the support.

This isn't even remotely original work.  I adapted this from the patch
I found here:

  http://homepage.ntlworld.com/maxwells.daemon/tivo/downloads/tivo-partition-support-1.patch

Pete Zaitcev has an equivalent patch here (which I found after I had
already rebased the above patch):
