I am working to sync our HAL backend up with the latest HAL spec.  To
that end, I have added support for displaying more volume.partition
properties.  This patch will only affect HAL objects that have the
volume.is_partition property set to TRUE.  The only way you'd notice any
difference is using lshal.  The old output looked something like:

volume.partition.number =3D 3 (0x3) (int)
volume.msdos_part_table_type =3D 165 (0xa5) (int)

The new style looks like this:

volume.partition.start =3D 18268346880  (0x440e0da00)  (uint64)
volume.partition.media_size =3D 61730726400  (0xe5f702200)  (uint64)
volume.partition.type =3D '0xa5'  (string)
volume.partition.scheme =3D 'mbr'  (string)
volume.partition.number =3D 3  (0x3)  (int)

I'd be particularly interested with feedback from those that have gpt or
apple schemes, but feedback from mbr users is just as good (i.e. to let
me know it works on more that just my system).  Thanks.
