As I understand it, these partitions were simply not accessible before
this patch:  we're not renaming mmcblkNpY to anything else, we're adding
support for mmcblkNgpY partitions, which are part of the "MMC General
Purpose Partition" spec, and are partitioned separately and not
currently available to userspace.

So, I don't see what would constitute breakage.  Does that clear it up?

Thanks,

- Chris.
