I've confirmed this works.
That doesn't allow you to create an esp partition on a non-gpt or a
gpt-bios disk.
I'm fine if you want to say that's rare enough that people need to set
the flag in a hook rather than permitting it in fai-setupstorage.
Today, I actually do create an ESP on bios disk labels, which is a
perfectly supported UEFI configuration, but gpt would be totally fine
for my uses so I'm fine if you want to close this.
