From: "Brian C. Lane" <bcl@xxxxxxxxxx>
It appears that Lenovo systems aren't the only ones that have problems
booting from GPT labeled disks. This patch does the following:
* default to msdos labeled disks
* remove the GPT blacklist
* remove nogpt cmdline argument
* add gpt cmdline argument to force use of GPT disklabel
