Right, *that* is the real problem.  Fix that and the blkpg code should
do the right thing.

ped_disk_next_partition returned the implicit partition, then both
parted print and the blkpg code should already do the right thing.

These still have not been applied.  Are you saying that when you apply
them, your patch isn't needed?
