Module: mdadm
Branch: upstream
Commit: 056b331efe5f9c60be11bda315336066b5e30106
URL:    http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-mdadm/mdadm.git;a=commit;h=056b331efe5f9c60be11bda315336066b5e30106

Improve partition table code.

Code to check partition tables used some needless casts
and was broken, using a u8 when a u32 was wanted.

So create structure describing the tables rather than using offset,
and read into those tables instead.
