Following patchset implements some improvements and cleanup for the
GPT booting code:

patch 1: Simplify the gpt detection code with lesser scopes and add
         comments.
patch 2: Introduce 8byte LE helpers: x at -le and x!-le
patch 3: As we need to detect FAT partition, implement a helper that
      	 can be used both from GPT code and "try-dos-files"
patch 4: Implement GPT FAT for LVM suport.
patch 5: Make GPT detection code robust 

Nikunj A Dadhania (5):
  disk-label: simplify gpt-prep-partition? routine
  introduce 8-byte LE helpers
