cmdline-partition now only support continuous disk space taken from
cmdline. When we need to reserve a disk space, for instance, 100m between
mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p2 for special use and wouldn't let kernel space
realize this "disk hole", we add this patch to ship adding this kind of
"disk hole" into the partition table. For any such cases, simply append
"hidden" to the end of subpart which is need to be reserved.
