system initialize() hooks. It's often the only info about the
partition one needs and thus locking the partition just to get it is
no longer necessary.
* intel partitioning system:
- Removed passing around block sizes. We require 512 byte sectors
anyway. In fact using the parent partition's block size was even
wrong.
- Simplified writing the partition map sector.
- Simplified and corrected the partition map initialization.
- We don't fail identifying a partition anymore, if the partition map
contains no partitions. We would never identify a freshly
initialized partition map before.
- Made pm_identify() more intelligent: It determines the priority to
return depending on whether the partition is the device itself and
whether we have recognized child partitions.

to load it from an attribute ("BootCode"). On Darwin we write the boot
code into this attribute. This should solve the problem that writing
resources into the makebootable file renders it not executable there.

* Added --dry-run option for paranoid ones like me.
* Added support for making partition devices bootable under Linux (x86, BIOS).
When specifying respective values for HAIKU_IMAGE_{DIR,NAME} ("/dev" and
e.g. "sda7") a "jam haiku-image" will now replace the contents of your
favorite partition with a fresh Haiku installation. BE WARNED: This is nothing
for the faint of heart and I don't guarantee that my implementation is bug-free
and won't mangle the contents of your hard disk even if you use it correctly.
That being said, note that you'll probably have to run the "jam haiku-image"
as root, if you want to access the partition devices, which is a bit annoying.
Furthermore, if the build_haiku_image script fails for any reason, jam tends
to remove the image file, which in this case would be a partition device node.
The mknod command will be your friend in this case.

to make the build system happy for now. We'll see later what we
have to do.
