Following patchset implements some improvements and cleanup for the
GPT booting code:
patch 1: Simplify the gpt detection code with lesser scopes and add
comments.
patch 2: Introduce 8byte LE helpers: x@-le and x!-le
patch 3: As we need to detect FAT partition, implement a helper that
can be used both from GPT code and "fat-bootblock?"
patch 4: Implement GPT FAT for LVM suport and make GPT detection code
robust
Changelog v3:
* Dropped patch for renaming "block" variable
* Fix bug in seek-pos updation code
Changelog V2:
* Optimize gpt detection code
* Fixed stack comments
* Rename verify-gpt-partition, as it was doing more than that. Added
comments.
