From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>
Subject: Implement 'no_partition_scan' commandline option
Refences: FATE#303697
Patch-mainline: Not yet
Under certain setups the partition table on the disk is not
useable directly (eg for dmraid or multipathing). So we should
be able to switch it off completely so as not to be flooded with
pointless messages.
