* util/hostdisk.c (struct grub_util_biosdisk_data): New structure.
(grub_util_biosdisk_open): Initialise disk->data.
(struct linux_partition_cache): New structure.
(linux_find_partition): Cache partition start positions; these are
expensive to compute on every read and write.

don't have to reopen it and flush the buffer cache for consecutive
operations on the same device.
(grub_util_biosdisk_close): New function.
(grub_util_biosdisk_dev): Set `close' member.
* conf/common.rmk (grub_probe_SOURCES): Add kern/list.c.
