The return value is no longer boolean, so the function's name
should be changed to avoid confusion. Say, get_bootable_flags()?
Then  another function, or inline function should be provided.

bool part_is_bootable(blk_desc *bdev)

for checking if the device is "bootable."

ditto, and again

bool part_is_efi_system()
