  Log:
  First cut at support for booting a GPT labeled disk via the BIOS bootstrap
  on i386 and amd64 machines.  The overall process is that /boot/pmbr lives
  in the PMBR (similar to /boot/mbr for MBR disks) and is responsible for
  locating and loading /boot/gptboot.  /boot/gptboot is similar to /boot/boot
  except that it groks GPT rather than MBR + bsdlabel.  Unlike /boot/boot,
  /boot/gptboot lives in its own dedicated GPT partition with a new
  "FreeBSD boot" type.  This partition does not have a fixed size in that
  /boot/pmbr will load the entire partition into the lower 640k.  However,
  it is limited in that it can only be 545k.  That's still a lot better than
  the current 7.5k limit for boot2 on MBR.  gptboot mostly acts just like
  boot2 in that it reads /boot.config and loads up /boot/loader.  Some more
  details:
  - Include uuid_equal() and uuid_is_nil() in libstand.
  - Add a new 'boot' command to gpt(8) which makes a GPT disk bootable using
    /boot/pmbr and /boot/gptboot.  Note that the disk must have some free
    space for the boot partition.
    - This required exposing the backend of the 'add' function as a
      gpt_add_part() function to the rest of gpt(8).  'boot' uses this to
      create a boot partition if needed.
  - Don't cripple cgbase() in the UFS boot code for /boot/gptboot so that
    it can handle a filesystem > 1.5 TB.
  - /boot/gptboot has a simple loader (gptldr) that doesn't do any I/O
    unlike boot1 since /boot/pmbr loads all of gptboot up front.  The
    C portion of gptboot (gptboot.c) has been repocopied from boot2.c.
    The primary changes are to parse the GPT to find a root filesystem
    and to use 64-bit disk addresses.  Currently gptboot assumes that the
    first UFS partition on the disk is the / filesystem, but this algorithm
    will likely be improved in the future.
  - Teach the biosdisk driver in /boot/loader to understand GPT tables.
    GPT partitions are identified as 'disk0pX:' (e.g. disk0p2:) which is
    similar to the /dev names the kernel uses (e.g. /dev/ad0p2).
  - Add a new "freebsd-boot" alias to g_part() for the new boot UUID.
