[Bug 1456443] Re: Skip eMMC device's boot0, boot1 and rpmb partitions

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Installations on specific eMMC devices, where they are shipping with mmcblk0rpmb and mmcblk0boot* partitions. For example, Nvidia Jetson TK-1 ARM boards.
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ Attempt a server installation on the device.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ Minimal; these devices are meant to be read-only and should be treated as such by partman, so it makes sense to explicitly filter them out.
+ 
+ ---
  During installation,
  partman will scan all the available partitions.
  However, with the eMMC device, especially with its /dev/mmcblk0rpmb partition,
  a popup warning will show up to interrupt the whole installation process.
  One has to manually press the 'Ignore' button to skip that and proceed the installation.
  This seriously impacts some of OEM's auto installation requirements.
