    partprobe: remove partitions when there is no partition table
    
    When partprobe detects no partition table on a device, it should
    tell the kernel to drop partitions on that device, but it did not.
    * parted/partprobe.c (process_dev): When ped_disk_probe fails,
    create a dummy (empty) partition table and use that.
    * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

   libparted: treat a disk with no pMBR as an msdos-labeled disk
   even when it has valid GPT headers.
 
+  partprobe now tells the kernel to forget about any partitions
+  on a device that has no recognizable partition table.
