With this series barebox can detect partition table changes at runtime and reparse the partition table in that case. With this it's possible for example to write an image to a SD card and mount partitions directly afterwards without restarting barebox. The fastboot code is also changed to check for existing partitions when they are actually used and no longer during initialization time of the gadget. With this it becomes possible to expose a full device via fastboot and also some not yet existing partitions. When the full device is written to one can then write to a (newly created) partition directly afterwards. The reparsing of the partition table only works when none of the partitions are mounted or otherwise opened. When a partition is open when the partition table changes, then barebox will continue with the old partition table just like Linux does.
