Josef Söntgen 9b7e0ce0a5 part_blk: add GPT support
The GUID partition table (GPT) is primarily used by systems using
(U)EFI and is a replacement for the legacy MBR. For now, the current
implementation is able to address up to 128 GUID partition entries
(GPE).

To enable the GPT support in 'part_blk' it has to be configured
accrodingly:

! <start name="part_blk">
! [...]
!   <config use_gpt="yes">
! [...]
! </start>

If 'part_blk' is not able to find a valid GPT header it falls back
to using the MBR.

Current limitations:

Since no endian conversion takes place it only works on LE platforms
and of all characters in the UTF-16 encoded name field of an entry
only the ones included in the ASCII encoding are printed. It also
ignores all GPE attributes.

Issue #1429.

README

This is the example operating system based on the Genode OS framework:

:_Init_: is the first real process in the system. The provided implementation
  uses a very simple XML parser to read its configuration files.

:_Drivers_: The example OS has basic drivers for frame buffer, mouse and
  keyboard input, the PCI bus, the real-time clock, and system-specific timers.

:_Server_: The only server in the example OS is Nitpicker, a
  minimal-complexity GUI server.

:_Test_: are also part of the example OS. You may have a look at the fork
  bomb as a simple system stress test.

:_Ldso_: is the dynamic linker used for loading executables that are linked
  against shared libraries.

:_Lib_: contains libraries used by the components of the OS repository,
  in particular the device-driver kit, the alarm framework, and support
  for dynamic linking.
