I was convinced I'd sent a similar (but more naive) patch for this about two years ago to nbd-general. Now that I searched through my folders, it seems I'd only sent it to Wouter.
Most things are handled better by Laurent's version, with the exception
(IMO) that GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO is being removed
permanently in his, whereas I only remove it before nbd_do_it() and re-add
it afterwards. I'm attaching my version here.
Cheers,
Bogdan
