  MFC r292057:
    Make detection of GPT a bit more reliable.
  
    When we are detecting a partition table and didn't find PMBR, try to
    read backup GPT header from the last sector and if it is correct,
    assume that we have GPT.
  
    Differential Revision:	https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4282
  
  MFC r292058:
    Remove a note about damaged PMBR. Now GPT will be detected automatically
    with such corruption.
  
  Relnotes:	yes
