Awesome, thanks! =)

It didn't seem right to hack around the hack around that was
implemented for our formerly bad behavior, but we can look at it again
if we run into further problems with the way we do this. I don't think
our devpath usage is unreasonable, though- we don't expect these
pointers to live forever, just long enough to locate all of the
partitions on it.

Thanks,

Kyle Evans
