Since the limit for minor device numbers to be only up to 255 is gone since
years, it would not be a problem to support more than 15 partitions on any SCSI
disk. This could even be compatible to current major/minor layout of SCSI
disk. Just use current minor number for partitions up to 15 as is and use
minor numbers above 255 for partition numbers above 15.
But as long as this is not done in the kernel there is not much userland
can do to work around this. The plan to use kpartx to create DM maps
instead of kernel partitions create IMHO more problems than it solves.
