Ah... right.  I missed removable devices.  I think it would be better to
just expand the table rather than recursing into __blkdev_get() again.
I'll try to come up with cleaner solution.  Also, I don't think the
discontinuous partition would be a problem.  ptbl is expanded to the
highest numbered partition not the number of partitions.  I'll test that
too.  Thanks.
