Comment (by tqh):
We should not use device paths to find disks. Device paths are not only
for block devices.
My code iterates over block devices. UEFI lists one per disk + one for
each partition. It skips all partition block devices and then let general
Haiku bootplatform read and find Haiku partitions. It is very simple, we
can also revert an API change we did for boot devices making API for all
boot platforms simpler.
There is a special case for a fixed block device with one partition, where
it only lists one block device. I don't think we ever plan or can boot on
that anyway, so I do
I already have it compiling and booting on my machines, but it needs
cleanup before uploading to Gerritt.
