GRUB assumes that no disk is ever larger than 1EiB and rejects
reads/writes to such locations. Unfortunately this is not conveyed in
the usual way with the special GRUB_DISK_SIZE_UNKNOWN value.
The first hint of something practical, a command that can restore any of
the GPT structures from the alternate location. New test case must run
under QEMU because the loopback device used by the other unit tests does
not support writing.
The header location fields refer to 'this header' and 'alternate header'
respectively, not 'primary header' and 'backup header'. The previous
field names are backwards for the backup header.
This module is a new implementation for reading GUID Partition Tables
which is much stricter than the existing part_gpt module and exports GPT
data directly instead of the generic grub_partition structure. It will
be the basis for modules that need to read/write/update GPT data.
The current code does nothing more than read and verify the table.
