[PATCH] libblkid: support for GUID Partition Table (GPT), please?

[Ivan Shmakov <ivan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	GPT contains a supposed to be unique “Disk GUID” field, which
	allows for the media bearing such a partition table to be
	identified.

	May I suggest adding support for GPT to libblkid?  An
	alpha-quality patch is MIME'd.
