  * Improve built-in gptsync implementation (LP: #757201):
    - Only the first partition may start at sector 1; don't modify later
      partitions that way. This avoids overlap.
    - If no protective partition at all is found, place at the start of the
      MBR a tiny fake protective partition, covering the space from sector 1
      to the start of the first real partition. Partitions that follow are
      moved up by one, so that the hybrid MBR only includes three real
      partitions.
