In some usage scenarios it is desireable to work with disk images or
virtualized DASD devices. One problem that prevents such applications
is the partition detection in ibm.c. Currently it works only for
devices that support the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl, in other words, it only
works for devices that belong to the DASD device driver.
The information gained from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl is only for a small
set of legacy cases abolutely necessary. All current VOL1, LNX1 and
CMS1 type of disk labels can be interpreted correctly without this
information, as long as the generic HDIO_GETGEO ioctl works and
provides a correct disk geometry.
This patch makes the ibm.c partition detection as independent as
possible from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl. Only the following two cases are
still restricted to real DASDs:
- An FBA DASD, or LDL formatted ECKD DASD without any disk label.
- An old style LNX1 label (without large volume support) on a disk
with inconsistent device geometry.

To avoid confusion while formatting a DASD device change the level of
the "Expected VOL1 label not found" message from warning to info.

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
Extended VBLKs (those larger than the preset VBLK size) are divided
into fragments, each with its own VBLK header. Our LDM implementation
generally assumes that each VBLK is contiguous in memory, so these
fragments must be assembled before further processing.
Currently the reassembly seems to be done quite wrongly - no VBLK
header is copied into the contiguous buffer, and the length of the
header is subtracted twice from each fragment. Also the total
length of the reassembled VBLK is calculated incorrectly.
