/// platform hardware may become non-functional.
/// Bit 1: If this bit is set firmware must not produce an EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL device for
/// this partition. By not producing EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL partition, file system
/// mappings will not be created for this partition in UEFI.
/// Bits 2-47: Undefined and must be zero. Reserved for expansion by future versions of the UEFI
/// specification.
/// Bits 48-63: Reserved for GUID specific use. The use of these bits will vary depending on the
