Bug#409073: grub2 and GPT

[Robert Millan]

It seems that grub2 supports GPT alright, but only in its EFI version.  If
you want GPT on a PC, some changes are needed.

The attached patch mostly fixes it.  The only drawback is that partition
number in prefix/root env variables is corrupted for some reason and you
need to fix it manualy on every boot (set root=foo, etc).

I'm too busy to debug this atm, but maybe you could test it on your >2TiB
disk (appliing patch against latest CVS), to check that the rest is working
fine (my tests were on small GPT disk only).
