Linux 3.10+ exposes RPMB (Replay Protected Memory Block) partitions of MMC
devices [1] ; trying to read them with blkid or other unspecific means will
-cause kernel buffer I/O errors and timeouts. So don't run blkid on these.
+cause kernel buffer I/O errors and timeouts.
-Also ensure that /dev/disk/by-path creates proper symlinks and exposes the
--rpmb partition separately, instead of letting the "normal" partition symlink
-point to the rpbm device (this is a race condition).
+Blacklist those to prevent creating wrong by-path links and
+blkid'ing those.
