[Parted-maintainers] Bug#886960: Recognize NVMe devices

[dann frazier]

Package: parted
Version: 3.2-18
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i, patch

parted currently reports NVMe devices as "unknown":

$ sudo parted -s /dev/nvme0n1 p
Model: Unknown (unknown)
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 512GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags: 

Number  Start   End    Size   File system  Name  Flags
 1      1049kB  538MB  537MB  fat32              boot, esp
 2      538MB   794MB  256MB  ext2
 3      794MB   512GB  511GB

This has been fixed in the following upstream commit:
  e4ae4330 Add support for NVMe devices


Cherry-picking this on top of Debian's version (which applies cleanly
after dropping the NEWS hunk) provides the correct output:


$ sudo parted -s /dev/nvme0n1 p
Model: NVMe Device (nvme)
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 512GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags: 

Number  Start   End    Size   File system  Name  Flags
 1      1049kB  538MB  537MB  fat32              boot, esp
 2      538MB   794MB  256MB  ext2
 3      794MB   512GB  511GB
