 Write the partition table
 
+The partition_table_XXX object is expected to provide three functions to
+support writing the partition table, start_write(), write(), and end_write().
+start_write() is called once at the beginning to initiate the write operation,
+write() is then called one or more times (depending on whether there are any
+extended partitions), and end_write() is called once to complete the write
+operation. For partition table types that support extended partitions (e.g.
