Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+ * TODO:
+ *
+ * Changelog:
+ * Mon Nov 09 2004 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - test for valid PMBR and valid PGPT before ever reading
+ * AGPT, allow override with 'gpt' kernel command line option.
+ * - check for first/last_usable_lba outside of size of disk
+ *
+ * Tue Mar 26 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Ported to 2.5.7-pre1 and 2.5.7-dj2
+ * - Applied patch to avoid fault in alternate header handling
+ * - cleaned up find_valid_gpt
+ * - On-disk structure and copy in memory is *always* LE now -
+ * swab fields as needed
+ * - remove print_gpt_header()
+ * - only use first max_p partition entries, to keep the kernel minor number
+ * and partition numbers tied.
+ *
+ * Mon Feb 04 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Removed __PRIPTR_PREFIX - not being used
+ *
+ * Mon Jan 14 2002 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Ported to 2.5.2-pre11 + library crc32 patch Linus applied
+ *
+ * Thu Dec 6 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Added compare_gpts().
+ * - moved le_efi_guid_to_cpus() back into this file. GPT is the only
+ * thing that keeps EFI GUIDs on disk.
+ * - Changed gpt structure names and members to be simpler and more Linux-like.
+ *
+ * Wed Oct 17 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Removed CONFIG_DEVFS_VOLUMES_UUID code entirely per Martin Wilck
+ *
+ * Wed Oct 10 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Changed function comments to DocBook style per Andreas Dilger suggestion.
+ *
+ * Mon Oct 08 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Change read_lba() to use the page cache per Al Viro's work.
+ * - print u64s properly on all architectures
+ * - fixed debug_printk(), now Dprintk()
+ *
+ * Mon Oct 01 2001 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Style cleanups
+ * - made most functions static
+ * - Endianness addition
+ * - remove test for second alternate header, as it's not per spec,
+ * and is unnecessary. There's now a method to read/write the last
+ * sector of an odd-sized disk from user space. No tools have ever
+ * been released which used this code, so it's effectively dead.
+ * - Per Asit Mallick of Intel, added a test for a valid PMBR.
+ * - Added kernel command line option 'gpt' to override valid PMBR test.
+ *
+ * Wed Jun 6 2001 Martin Wilck <Martin.Wilck@Fujitsu-Siemens.com>
+ * - added devfs volume UUID support (/dev/volumes/uuids) for
+ * mounting file systems by the partition GUID.
+ *
+ * Tue Dec 5 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Moved crc32() to linux/lib, added efi_crc32().
+ *
+ * Thu Nov 30 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Replaced Intel's CRC32 function with an equivalent
+ * non-license-restricted version.
+ *
+ * Wed Oct 25 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Fixed the last_lba() call to return the proper last block
+ *
+ * Thu Oct 12 2000 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ * - Thanks to Andries Brouwer for his debugging assistance.
+ * - Code works, detects all the partitions.
