[Libguestfs] [PATCH] Generic partition creation interface.
This creates a generic partition table interface. One immediate
advantage is that you can create GPT partitions which can be larger
than 2 TB.
For example, here is a 1 exabyte partition:
<fs> sparse /mnt/tmp/test/test.img 1E
<fs> run
<fs> part-init gpt /dev/vda
<fs> part-add /dev/vda primary 0 0
<fs> list-devices
/dev/vda
<fs> list-partitions
/dev/vda1
<fs> blockdev-getsize64 /dev/vda1
