BTW: what we should do is when the partition parser at the block layer
see that the partition capacity as written in the partition-table is
bigger then the capacity reported for the device we can put a fat
message at dmesg with both sizes and user can decide.
And/or add an extra field at block attributes for part_capacity. It
is info that is known and parsed for today.
