A real failure should have output of course, but wouldn't it make more
sense for these modules to only output information on _success_? Not
recognizing a partition format for these add-ons should be more common then
actually finding a match ;)
The only exception there is the intel/gpt situation, where both will
recognize, but the intel one already checks for GPT and outputs a one-liner
saying basically "recognized but ignoring"...
