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: Rename block / read-sector to indicate it a allocated buffer

patch 4: As we need to detect FAT partition, implement a helper that
	 can be used both from GPT code and "fat-bootblock?"

patch 5: Implement GPT FAT for LVM suport and make GPT detection code
	 robust

Changelog V2:
* Optimize gpt detection code
* Fixed stack comments
* Rename verify-gpt-partition, as it was doing more than that. Added
  comments.
