efi_partition(struct parsed_partitions *state)

Description: called from check.c, if the disk contains GPT partitions, sets up partition entries in the kernel.

If the first block on the disk is a legacy MBR, it will get handled by msdos_partition(). If it's a Protective MBR, we'll handle it here.

We do not create a Linux partition for GPT, but only for the actual data partitions. Returns: -1 if unable to read the partition table 0 if this isn't our partition table 1 if successful
