So libata is limited to 15 partions as well? Is that related to the SCSI limitiation somehow?

There are two SATA implementations in the kernel. The older one is underIDE, and has the 64-partition IDE limit. The newer one (that uses libata)
is part of the SCSI subsystem, yes, so is limited to the SCSI 16
partitions.
