Hello.
I'd like to get some reviews, testing and perhaps assistance on the 
following code - https://github.com/pyhalov/slim_source/tree/efi_install

These are modifications to OI text installer which allow installation on 
EFI-labeled disks.
Note, it's more proof of concept code, which needs further cleanup and 
testing.

What is tested and should be working:
Default (whole_root) installation on EFI-labeled disk
Default (whole_root) installation on empty disk (creates EFI-labeled 
disk)

What is known to be broken:
slice management inside partitions on x86 (explicitly disabled for now)

What is likely to be broken (not-tested):
- non whole-root installation
- any other installation method :)
