Indeed, thanks -- has been updated in the version that is attached.

Also fixes a bug that snuck in (failed to add offset to entry->start).

This can stay for now. The partition table backup would indeed need some
defined byte-order but it might be "whatever order the filesystem it's
backed up onto uses". Since it's not directly written to any filesystem for
now, host order will do currently.

I might disagree with the usefulness. I believe that preferably a backup
should be made with help from the kernel (if only by walking sysfs) to avoid
things getting out of sync between kernel and backup program.

(this program largely does the same as the kernel does but even now there's
already a difference in so far that I didn't bother to de-garbage the 3rd
and 4th entries in the second level extendeds).
