I was thinking that it would not be a list actually.

The reason being that if you're anyways going to the trouble of
specifying exactly what partition type is going to be used, you're
not really interested in specifying a few different ones, you know
exactly what type it is going to be.

But if you think it needs to be a list, I'll specify that, no big
deal. I'll also try to get the Linux code to handle a list then.

Sure I'll rebase on whatever you say.
