In the "Trying to read ZFS-labelled disks with Parted thread", I sent
a patch that I believe fixes some endianness bugs and also gets Parted
closer to being able to read EFI disk labels generated by OpenSolaris.
 I haven't received any feedback on the patch, but I would like to see
at least the endianness fixes included in the stable release, if
they're correct.

The other fixes would be nice to have (since I believe they're
correct) but aren't urgent because they're not sufficient for reading
Sun's EFI disk labels.  (I do have a local patch that does seem to be
sufficient, but I don't yet understand why it works.)
