device_to_disk already knows how to do the mapping. We have this
complicated wildcard here which doesn't match the regexp in
device_to_disk, only because no-one got round to clearing out the devfs
cruft which is the following '*' case.
So I propose this instead:
Subject: Remove devfs case for mapping partitions to whole disk names
(Closes: #769107)
Rather than using an unmaintainable wildcard for non-devfs
partition device names, we should remove the obsolete devfs
case and use device_to_disk by default.
Also remove one of the many pointless uses of mapdevfs.
