Our C-code isys EDD BIOS disk order detection is broken in 2 ways atm:
1) It tries to open "sda" instead of "/dev/sda"
2) It tries to open floppies and when it fails, it aborts further device
scanning
Besides that it didn't work with dmraid setups due to the following issues:
3) The C-code will not identify a device by the mbr signature from the
EDD BIOS info, if multiple devices match the signature, however
if we have a fakeraid mirror for example we will have 3 matching devices
both the 2 raw disks and the device mapper device.
4) The python code was using /dev/mapper/longName names where as the
C-code uses /dev/dm-#
5) The python code was calling the C-code (which builds a cache) before it
setup the dmraid sets, so those were not known to the C-code
