[ler at FreeBSD.org: Add gpart_geom_gpt to amd64 DEFAULTS?]

[Warner Losh]

Sorry to not get back to you... I've been hurrying to get stuff related to
12 out of my queue...

We currently have:
options         GEOM_PART_BSD
options         GEOM_PART_EBR
options         GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT
options         GEOM_PART_MBR

in there. I don't think it would be bad to add

options         GEOM_PART_GPT

as well... It likely should be added to arm64 DEFAULTS as well.

std.armv[67] is less clear, though, since they boot off of MBR for the most
part.
