It means gpt disk labeling, just like we do on ia64. In fact, you need gpt disk labeling to be able to support partitions/filesystems above 2TB. The world is moving on, we just have to catch up. elilo boots efi and gpt, but I'd much rather see grub2 support for it.

GNU GRUB 1.92 (Development) by Yoshinori K. Okuji - Mon, Dec 26th 2005 07:05 PDT
About: GNU GRUB is a Multiboot loader. It was derived from GRUB. It is an attempt to produce a bootloader for IBM PC-compatible machines that has both the capability to be friendly to beginning or otherwise non-technically interested users and the flexibility to help experts in diverse environments. It is compatible with FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Linux. It supports Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP and OS/2 via chain-loaders. It has a menu interface and a command-line interface.
Changes: This release adds support for the GPT and Linux/ADFS partition table formats, a new command "play" to play an audio file on a PC, support for BASH-like scripting, and support for Apple HFS+ filesystems.
