The patch looks OK, the code is actually cleaner that way. You can also
drop PART_MAGIC_OFFSET which is no longer used (I have checked that it
is indeed PART_OFFSET + 4*sizeof(struct partition)).

I believe the code is equivalent to what was there before. Nevertheless,
a regression test that would cover this area would be more than welcome.
