Boot failure with block/for-next

Trying to test out the SCSI post merge tree, I've found it won't boot on
my SCSI test system. The reason is a failure to read the partition
table of the root disc. It just gives
sda: unable to read partition table
The other four discs in the system seem to read their partition tables
OK.
The obvious candidate is the partition code rework in block/for-next.
Simply reverting
commit d2bf1b6723ed0eab378363649d15b7893bf14e91

block: move register_disk() and del_gendisk() to block/genhd.c
Doesn't fix the boot failure, so it's obviously something deeper.
