While GPT now works, it doesn't write out the protective MBR. Not a *huge*
issue, but something we should investigate long-term.
GPT disk created under Haiku, edited in gdisk:
{{{
$ gdisk test-gpt.img
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.0
Partition table scan:
MBR: not present
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with corrupt MBR; using GPT and will write new
protective MBR on save.
