So all the partition_supports_*() hooks, if a partition is specified, should say
if we can perform that action on a given partition and partition_validate_*()
hooks just only check given parameters?
If we have e.g. intel partition map system and we already have 4 primary
partitions, we cannot create another child partition. Should the hook
partition_supports_creating_child() fail or should it just say "yes" (because
we can generally create child partitions) and then
partition_validate_create_child() fails, because we already have 4 child
partitions?
