Do you use GPT on ARM?

I have now added them to the spec and systemd, since people kept asking
all the time...

They are not too useful though for avoiding root= on the kernel cmdline,
since we only look for root disks on the ESP partition, and EFI isn't
that real on ARM...

But it might be useful for "systemd-nspawn -i", and thus I added it
now. 

I wonder if I should just add one for each arch we support, to put an
end to the story...
