Done. Also updated for new hook API.


From: Andrey Borzenkov <address@hidden>
Subject: [PATCH] check for LDM partition before checking LDM label

There are several reports of leftover LDM label at the end of disk
blocking installation of grub. Check for existence of LDM partition
before checking for LDM label validity. This is the same check as
done by Linux kernel.
