Re: [PATCH] block/partition/msdos: detect AIX formatted disks evenwithout 55aa

Hi,

IMHO that patch would better have a small but important one-liner comment
(one cannot rely on people always making use of SCM history functionality,
thereby this would be at risk of getting reversed accidentally eventually).

E.g.

/* Note order! (some AIX disks, e.g. unbootable kind, have no MSDOS 55aa) */

if (aix_magic_present(state, data)) {
.
.
.


Apart from that: nice compat catch!

HTH,

Andreas Mohr
