Strange questions you ask.
You should not be interested in the answer, and you know that very well.
Describe carefully what you need to have (a list of all NWFS partitions?)
and where you need it (in user space? in kernel code?). Probably the
facilities to get at such information already exist. If not, they can
be added.
[Sorry in case you already described your needs - I only read a small
fraction of linux-kernel.]
