Back before when I was banging on Hexagon (before Qualcomm got a
multi-month budget renewal gap and I wandered off to do something else)
I had to add a Hexagon stanza to fdisk too.  Despite the fact that
there's pretty much only about four minor behavior variations fdisk
does, and all but one of those behaviors are for ancient targets with
screwy historical breakage.

I realize we inherited this mess from upstream, but is there some way to
kill it with fire?  (Or at least refactor it to have a sane "else" case,
which would make 80% of it go away and most new platforms not care?)
