- * Disks are used in two ways:
- * - As a random-access device to read and write the GPT
- * - As a streaming device to read the kernel
- * These are implemented differently on raw NAND vs eMMC/SATA/USB
- * - On eMMC/SATA/USB, both of these refer to the same underlying
- *   storage, so they have the same size and LBA size. In this case,
- *   the GPT should not point to the same address as itself.
- * - On raw NAND, the GPT is held on a portion of the SPI flash.
- *   Random access GPT operations refer to the SPI and streaming
- *   operations refer to NAND. The GPT may therefore point into
- *   the same offsets as itself.
- * These types are distinguished by the following flag and VbDiskInfo
- * has separate fields to describe the random-access ("GPT") and
- * streaming aspects of the disk. If a disk is random-access (i.e.
- * not raw NAND) then these fields are equal.
