From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwis...@linux.intel.com>
Some programs require HDIO_GETGEO work, which requires we implement
getgeo. Based off of the work done to the NVMe driver in this commit:
4cc09e2dc4cb NVMe: Add getgeo to block ops
[Boaz] Converted original work done for prd.c for here.
This is needed if we want to support partitions, fdisk
calls this.
