The component will now always try to parse the MBR as well as the GPT
(in this order). It will bail out if both are considered valid, using
GPT/MBR hybrid tables is not supported.
Fixes#2803.
Add a "writeable" policy option to the ahci_drv and part_blk Block
servers and default from writeable to ready-only. Should a policy
permit write acesss the session request argument "writeable" may still
downgrade a session to ready-only.
Fix#2469
This patch unconditionally applies the labeling of sessions and thereby
removes the most common use case of 'Child_policy::filter_session_args'.
Furthermore, the patch removes an ambiguity of the session labels of
sessions created by the parent of behalf of its child, e.g., the PD
session created as part of 'Child' now has the label "<child-name>"
whereas an unlabeled PD-session request originating from the child
has the label "<child-name> -> ". This way, the routing-policy of
'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' can differentiate both cases.
As a consequence, the stricter labeling must now be considered wherever
a precise label was specified as a key for a session route or a server-
side policy selection. The simplest way to adapt those cases is to use a
'label_prefix' instead of the 'label' attribute. Alternatively, the
'label' attribute may used by appending " -> " (note the whitespace).
Fixes#2171
The GUID partition table (GPT) is primarily used by systems using
(U)EFI and is a replacement for the legacy MBR. For now, the current
implementation is able to address up to 128 GUID partition entries
(GPE).
To enable the GPT support in 'part_blk' it has to be configured
accrodingly:
! <start name="part_blk">
! [...]
! <config use_gpt="yes">
! [...]
! </start>
If 'part_blk' is not able to find a valid GPT header it falls back
to using the MBR.
Current limitations:
Since no endian conversion takes place it only works on LE platforms
and of all characters in the UTF-16 encoded name field of an entry
only the ones included in the ASCII encoding are printed. It also
ignores all GPE attributes.

This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
