Please adhere to local coding style, including indentation, spacing, and
use or otherwise of tabs; it really makes things easier to follow later.

PedDisk.needs_clobber is marked as "office use only" in parted; I
interpret that as meaning that it really shouldn't be fiddled with
outside parted, even though it's technically exposed.  Could you please
look at fixing parted to avoid clobbering the firmware area instead?  I
think that would be more correct.

Thanks,
