If we set the flag, indeed partitions will be ignored, which is exactly
what we want. But that also means that there will be no warning message
whatsoever in the very unlikely case of a user using an SMR disk with
partitions. I fully agree with you that we should set this flag, but I
decided against it initially to have the "partition table ignored"
warning printed for now.
If, as I expect, there are no screams coming from the field/users, we
can then safely add the flag and remove some more code (the test and
pr_warn call in rescan_partitions()).
