Do we actually need these config options? Why not hardwire it to some
reasonable upper bound and be done with it?

I have no problem hardwiring the number of partitions, but the
BLK_DEV_SR_PARTITIONS should still be an option to allow the
user to decided if they want partitioning support for their
SCSI CDROMs. Or are you suggesting that from now on partitions
will be supported by default?

Why is this ifdef needed?

Indeed, it is pointless.
