Well, UEFI standard defines only 3 partition type GUIDs, the rest is vendor
specific .. so there is huge area for human creativity :-)
The initial source for fdisk was
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
and extended by stuff from free desktop
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/
(Hmm.. someone already added dm-crypt and LUKS specific GUIDs to
wikipedia.)
