+	* libblock/src/ide_part_table.c: Functionality of
+	rtems_ide_part_table_get() and rtems_ide_part_table_free() was needed
+	internally but those routines are deprecated from the public API. So
+	move their contents to private static routines. Using the private
+	routines in this file avoids deprecation warnings and leaves
+	functional, although deprecated, versions for potential use by
+	applications.
