[Bug 1332187] [NEW] driver-injection-disk script needs to support disk and usb-partition devices

[Kent Baxley]

Public bug reported:

14.04 LTS (and older) does not support driver injection via micro deb
(udeb) package when mounted from iLO virtual media.

iLO does not present an OEMDRV device with a partition, therefore,  the
Ubuntu installer overlooks that media as being viable.  Instead of a
usb-partition, the device is seen as a disk.  Running "list-devices
disk" and then a blkid against that disk will reveal the OEMDRV label.

Instead of just probing for usb-partitoin in list-devices, the driver-
injection-disk script also needs to check the "disk" device via list-
devices.

I'll post a possible fix via bzr merge proposal shortly.

This will need to go into 14.10 as well as an update in 14.04 LTS
