Bug Description

The EFI system partition on a Mac is a FAT partition with the label "EFI System Partition". Partitions like this shouldn't be automounted, because elilo can't deal with a mounted partition.

Actually, we should just arrange to automatically use these as EFI boot partitions.

  * On Intel Macs, depend on gptsync-udeb and run gptsync on changed devices
    after committing changes.
  * Automatically use existing EFI system partitions on Intel Macs as EFI
    boot partitions (LP: #38225).
  * Create fat32 EFI partitions with the name "EFI System Partition" by
    default on Intel Macs.
