    partitions: enable EFI/GPT support by default · 5f6f38db

    The Kconfig currently enables MSDOS partitions by default because they
    are assumed to be essential, but it's necessary to enable "advanced
    partition selection" in order to get GPT support. IMO GPT partitions
    are becoming common enought to deserve the same treatment MSDOS
    partitions get.
    
    (Side note: I got bit by a disk that had MSDOS and GPT partition
    tables, but for some reason the MSDOS table was different from the
    GPT one. I was stupid enought to disable "advanced partition
    selection" in my .config, which disabled GPT partitioning and made
    my btrfs pool unbootable because it couldn't find the partitions)
