Well, for now I just want to make it work properly. While there are
certainly advantages to avoid code duplication it is also sometimes
a complication.
So what we need is some serious testing, e.g. like creating multiple
extended dos partitions two recursions deep and seeing if the partition
data is properly passed between the loader and kernel.
