I don't see how.

The only information it passes to the callout is the information it was
already *given* in the partition structure.

I'm more inclined to believe Sudhakar's claim that you'll get an
'initialization sequence problem', although I'm not sure I believe it
can't be solved in a better way than this.

I'm also unhappy that it only works on partitioned devices -- that seems
wrong.
