The GPT standard requires that we reserve either 34 512 sectors, or 6 4k
sectors before starting partitions. However, we don't currently don't
enforce these minimums. This is 2 sectors + 16k of space.

Which has 3 is the FirstLBA and 4 as the number of entries.
The correct output I claim is:

braino: min will return the smaller number. We want it to return the
larger of the computed size and the minimal size.

| 29 | param comes before all headers other than cdefs, though not really sure why cdefs is included in the first place (left over from $FreeBSD$?), and there should be a blank line between the sys/ and non-sys/ includes anyway, so this isn't exactly the most style-conforming already | |
| 131 | howmany from sys/param.h? #define howmany(x, y) (((x)+((y)-1))/(y)) | |

| 29 | Indeed cdefs is not needed. Changing the first include to #include <sys/param.h> results in an identical binary (other than debug info). | |

It would be really good to get (some version of) this into the tree and on the build machine before the next RC build.

Update headers included, use howmany and improve (I claim) the comments
and commit message (which isn't updated automatically, alas)

You can edit it through the Phab web UI though.

| 141 | No. Sector sizes are required to be a power of 2. There's no rounding needed. I think elsewhere we don't bother... And I'd like to keep the number of 'one more things' to a minimum. Not sure what a 16k sector size would do, or how larger sector sizes would work here. But both a 16k and 64k sector size would result in this returning 1. The standard is silent on sector sizes that aren't 512 or 4k. | |

| 141 | It's not secsz I was thinking about, but GPT_MIN_RESERVED. 16384 is (obviously) a power of two, but the constant is defined elsewhere and so it's not immediately obvious when looking at this expression. | |
