[patch] NetBSD/i386 partition fix

The different BSD systems have diverged and are using different Fdisk
partition IDs. These are all defined in linux/include/genhd.h but the
code in drivers/block/gend.c:msdos_partition doesn't for some reason
recognize the NetBSD partition ID. Here follows the trivial patch
(relative to 2.2.0-pre3) for adding it.
