We'll need the partition check.  If you want to get fancy you could
also add the atomic boundary offset thing there as a partitions would
make devices with that "feature" useful again, although I'd prefer to
only deal with that if the need actually arises.

The right place is in the core infrastructure, the bdev patch is just
a user of the block infrastructure.  bdev really are just another
file system and a consumer of the block layer APIs.
