We may want to support partitionable md in general in the future so I don't
think the flags.cmdline.has_key("iswmd") check here is needed.

All md arrays are now partitionable by default since 2.6.28 where Tejun added block device extended minor support.

Thus hunk seems wrong, as it will make the "return [device]" happen for
every device if the flag is present, what if I'm doing an install with
this flag, but not booting from an md isw raid set ?

We also need to consider the case where the user has disabled raid support in the bios, but the metadata and the 'iswmd' command line parameter still exist. I would expect that the OS ignores raid arrays in that case. Currently the bios-raid-enabled state can be determined by "mdadm --detail-platform -e imsm" returning 'true'.

Dan
