* When creating a legacy MBR on Apple systems, only ever mark an existing
partition as a fake protective partition if it is the first partition
and it starts at LBA 1, otherwise GRUB and the Linux kernel respectively
will fail to treat the disk as GPT; if there is no partition fitting
these criteria, then fall back to creating a fake protective partition
(LP: #837681).
