There have been reports of misinterpreted AHDI partition tables before (see [0] and [1]), usually as an unintended side-effect of using non-zeroed disks. Users of this specific partition scheme are unlikely to be on AWS instances, so we should disable them.

Considering Atari hardware hasn't been produced in a long time, and is unlikely to be used in AWS instances, the regression potential should be very low.
