Hi Martin,

OK, I'll prepare a patch and submit it to linux-block for review. I'll
have to refer to your testing back in 2012 since all I can test is
whether the patch still allows partition tables on small disks to be
recognized at this time (unless Adrian has a 2 TB disk and a SATA-SCSI
bridge to test this properly on).

Cheers,

    Michael
