I made a patch for GPT support.
I don't see anything wrong with it, although won't it always be the first

No, but this patch supports the second (or third, ...) legacy
partition marked with 0xee.

This patch has different problems. get_active_partition() returns a
entry of a legacy partition. Since the structure of GPT partition
entries differs from the structure of legacy partition entries, this
patch has the following problem:
- pygrub cannot access a domain more than 2^32 * SECTOR_SIZE because
get_fs_offset() treats the offset as a 32-bit integer. In GPT, the
offset must be treated as 64-bit integer.
- This patch returns a part of a GUID unique to the partition as
legacy partition types. pygrub may misunderstand partition types.
I plan to fix this problem.
