I would write some comparison function, which would search both names 
for adX/adaY prefixes, if they found on both arguments, trimmed them and 
compared remaining parts.

I think for usual purpose of name hardcoding device name part is less 
important. Comparing partition names part should be enough. The tricky 
part there is to properly identify device part, so I was thinking about 
specific hack for adX/adaY.
