Subject: [PATCH v11] mmc : general purpose partition support.

It allows gerneral purpose partitions in MMC Device.
And I try to simpliy make mmc_blk_alloc_parts using mmc_part
structure suggested by Andrei Warkentin.
After patching, we can see general purpose partitions like this.
cat /proc/partitions
           179 0 847872 mmcblk0
           179 192 4096 mmcblk0gp3
           179 160 4096 mmcblk0gp2
           179 128 4096 mmcblk0gp1
           179 96  1052672 mmcblk0gp0
           179 64  1024 mmcblk0boot1
           179 32  1024 mmcblk0boot0

  	}

Is there any reason for putting the mmc_boot_partition_access() logic here? If
boot partitions are not allowed by host, then just don't add the mmc_parts to
the parts array, no? Such minutae should belong in core mmc code, not block driver, IMHO.

I like data structures to model reality i.e. the partitions exist but are not accessible. However I am not fussed - change it or not.
