Embedded device command line partition parsing

=====================================================================



Read block device partition table from command line.

The partition used for fixed block device (eMMC) embedded device.

It is no MBR, save storage space. Bootloader can be easily accessed

Support for reading the block device partition table from the command line.

It is typically used for fixed block (eMMC) embedded devices.

It has no MBR, so saves storage space. Bootloader can be easily accessed

by absolute address of data on the block device.

Users can easily change the partition.

	Enabling this option allows you to specify the partition layout from

	the kernel boot args.  This is typically of use for embedded devices

	partitions on a block device.
