Could genimage be used to partition an eMMC device? #127

As currently defined, could genimage be used instead of fdisk to partition an eMMC device?

If not, would this be a consistent feature to add to genimage? (I'm in no way expecting this to be done for my benefit; I'm just curious...)

There is some support for this and I have more ideas to make it more convenient. Right now, you should be able to use a device as output file for a hd image. But the size is not yet detected and I want to create the filesystems directly on the device as well.

Thanks.
