[parted-devel] [PATCH] gpt: Add no-automount partition flag

[Mike Fleetwood]

Add user requested support for GPT partition type attribute bit 63 [1]
so the no-auto flag in the systemd originated Discoverable Partitions
Specification [2] can be manipulated.  The UEFI specification [3] says
partition attribute bits 48 to 63 are partition type specific, however
the DPS [2] and Microsoft [4] use the bit 63 to mean no automounting /
assign no drive letter and apply it to multiple partition types so don't
restrict its application.
