2a944ecdef o Newer EFI implementations require that a GPT is preceeded by
a PMBR. Make sure the create command creates a PMBR as well
   (if not already present).
o  When parsing the MBR, explicitly check for a PMBR and create
   a PMBR map node if one is found.
o  When parsing the MBR, recurse to handle extended partitions.
   This allows us to flatten nested MBRs when migrating to a
   GPT.
o  Have the migrate command bail out if it encounters a partition
   it doesn't know how to migrate. This avoids data loss.
o  Change the output of the show command so that the UUIDs of the
   GPT partitions fit on the same line.
o  Show when partitions are extended partitions and add the PMBR
   type.

5d5e1c2b12 o Add functionality to add a GPT partition,
o  Use DCE compliant UUID functions and provide local
   implementations if they don't exist,
o  Move dumping of the map to show.c and print the
   partition type,
o  Some cleanups and rearrangements.

The default GPT partition type is UFS. When no starting block
or size are specified, the tool will create a partition in the
first free space it find (or that fits, depending on the size).

80643c90e3 Grab a snapshot of Marcel's gpt tool. This is still a work-in-progress
but is useful to have handy.  EFI GPT partitions are used instead of the
fdisk+disklabel combination.  They are pure 64 bit LBA, are fully
extensible, support up to 16383 partitons per disk, etc.
