I fancied the idea of using a GPT/EFI partition table for sdcards used
on sunxi devices, but it seems that GPT takes the first 34 sectors of
the card (with sectors of 512B, that's the first 17kiB), while the
U-Boot SPL starts at sector 16 (that's at 8kiB), so there is a conflict
here.
Is anyone aware of another offset from which U-Boot SPL could be load by
the bootrom? I have started reverse engineering the bootrom code to find
out if there is such a thing in place (which I very much doubt, but who
knows, maybe Allwinner thought about this), but I'd appreciate any info
before spending too much time on it.
Too the best of my knowledge the bootloader / SPL must start at 8kiB so
using gpt is not an option.

Hans
