* 1) MSDOS signature is in the last two bytes of the MBR
* 2) One partition of type 0xEE is found

+ * In addition, a hybrid MBR will have up to three additional
+ * primary partitions, which point to the same space that's
+ * marked out by up to three GPT partitions.
+ *
+ * Returns 0 upon invalid MBR, or GPT_MBR_PROTECTIVE or
