Fix some corner-cases with CHS calculation when filling out MBR partition tables. Make sure that CHS values are correctly clamped the requested LBA is too big to be representable as a CHS, and fix the calculation when LBA=0.
When creating a hybrid GPT/MBR, change the GPT protective partition size from (
hd->gpt_location / 512 + GPT_SECTORS - 2) toGPT_SECTORS, which should be more generally correct (and evaluates to the same value in the hybrid case).
