Well, there's no *need* to do that. Actually, some hackers even thought
about ripping out all the partition detection code in favour of a
userspace library and DM. That would even work out in the case of a root
filesystem, IFF you put that lib into a initrd...
However, thanks for hinting us to the hfs{,+} code :)
