cjwatson, thanks so much for taking a look at this.

I hear your concern about changing whether irrelevant partitions are
placed in the hybrid MBR. Note however that the only partition numbering
that would change would be in the MBR. In a GPT + hybrid-MBR
configuration, linux takes its partition numbers exclusively from the
GPT, so linux device numbers won't change at all. Are you aware of any
utilities or OSes that care particularly about the index of partitions
within a hybrid-MBR?

If there are tools that care, another possibility is to simply zero out
the entries corresponding to irrelevant partitions. They'll then be
ignored, but the index of other partitons will remain the same.
