I'm testing a variant of it at the moment with no problems on x86. My
first thought would be to check for endianness problems and the like but
I don't see any.

It may also fail to allow any resizing if the Macbook issues a security
freeze from the firmware before the OS boots, if so we won't be able to
resize the HPA or set/change passwords on the disk. If they are doing
that then its a fairly sensible security choice.
