[RFC] block: Remove annoying "unknown partition table" message

As Christoph put it best:
Can we just get rid of the warnings? It's fairly annoying as devices
without partitions are perfectly fine and very useful.

Me too I see this message every VM boot for ages on all my
devices. Would love to just remove it. For me a partition-table
is only needed for a booting BIOS, grub, and stuff.

(NOT Yet Tested)
