[alison at peloton-tech.com]

From: Alison Chaiken <alison at peloton-tech.com>

Here is a resubmission of the 9-part patch series, the first 8 of
which have already been marked 'applied', 'reviewed', or 'ack'ed' by
Lukasz Majewski, Simon Glass or Tom Rini.  I'm reposting them all as a
set at Tom Rini's suggestion.  Those earlier patches are listed here:

  EFI: replace number with UUID_STR_LEN macro

Changes since last version to the last patch in the series:

-- Removed several casts in create_gpt_partitions_list() and
   do_rename_gpt_parts() as suggested by Lothar Waßmann.  The cast of
   gpt_part_info.name to char* is needed to silence a compiler
   warning.

-- Substituted simple_strtol() for atoi() in do_gpt_rename_parts() as
   suggested by Tom Rini and Wolfgang Denk.

-- Fixed bug in do_rename_gpt_parts() where 0 was returned as a valid
   number of partitions with which to continue.

-- Added a comment to do_rename_gpt_parts() noting that the debug()
   string it optionally prints is useful as input to the pre-existing
   'gpt write' and 'gpt verify' commands.

-- Changed some -1 return values to -ENODEV and -EINVAL as suggested
   by Tom Rini.

Changes to penultimate patch:
-- Removed a cast in allocate_disk_part() as suggested by Lothar.


Remaining tasks planned for future patches:

-- Create tests for GPT functionality as suggested by Lukasz.

-- Improve support for CONFIG_RANDOM_UUID.

-- Preserve partition type info when rewriting GPT.
