Please run checkpatch over this. There are some stylistic flaws like
missing whitespaces left and right of operators.

It's even more important to skip this in the output buffer. This code
should not change the disk signature.

Why _safe? You do not remove entries, do you?

In a multiline if clause the second line should either start directly
under the opening brace or indented with at least two more tabs than the
opening if(), but using the same indention level as the conditional code
makes it hard to read.

Instead of the silent test below, do a:

			if (n == 4) {
				pr_warn("Only 4 partitions written to MBR\n");
				break;
			}

We should have a test if offset and/or size exceed the 32bit limit.

You could move this to the top of the function and directly manipulate
the input buffer.
