I would prefer to have the ability of creating partition nodes in devfs
style built-in to udev. Devfs used to call the whole disk e.g.
"/dev/dasd/0123/disk" and the partitions "/dev/dasd/0123/part[1-3]".
This can obviously be done with a CALLOUT rule, but its common enough
to make it a format modifier. AFAIK, this scheme has been used for
ide, scsi and dasd disks, which is about 99% of all disks ever connected
to Linux.
