Subject: [PATCH] block: partitions: efi: Ignore bizarre Chromebook GPT
 partitions

This patch is based on @SolidHal work here :
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SolidHal/PrawnOS/master/resources/BuildResources/patches-tested/kernel/0001-block-partitions-efi-Add-support-for-IGNOREME-GPT-si.patch

Here's the initial commit message :

8<---

This patch adds support for a special GPT header signature marker (using
the string 'IGNOREME' instead of the spec's 'EFI PART'). This tells the
kernel to ignore this GPT completely and look at the other one instead.
Since the kernel always prefers the primary GPT anyway, all we really
need to do effectively is to check whether the primary GPT is marked
'IGNOREME' and force evaluation of the secondary one in that case.

Borrowed from the chrome os 3.14 kernel, the commit can be found here:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/abba28d0a1b7361da6e2023352e92687166ca30d

Also bundled in this commit
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/bd0c62c7de0c8a63314b7955e5718d8f6192f9d2%5E%21/#F0
Which is a small compiler warning fix for the above patch

This patch fixes how the kernel detects and handles certain mmc
manufatures devices, and allows the partitions on the mmc to be bootable
and mountable.
