I don't agree that the existing implementation doesn't make sense for
GPT.  It returns "primary", but the reimplementation returns an error.
That's going to break callers who weren't careful about only using
this API on MBR, and I think that is unnecessary breakage.  GPT
partitions are all "primary".
