I basically get this. I expect there'll be separate matrices or pages for the archs?

Question for EFI as an arch, we haven't been testing every layout presumably because of overlap with x86_64. But I'd guess the QA:Testcase_dualboot_with_windows tests for existing GPT, and EFI System partition, rather than actually creating them (correctly). I'll bet the code that does that is called once for all of the guided partition schemes. So it seems like if we check the Windows case to make sure it doesn't break Windows, we also get a "use existing GPT and ESP" test of code; but still need one that "creates new GPT and ESP" layout test of the code. Yes? I did that on Mac EFI, but it's got slightly different code.

Why not just delete the appropriate existing test cases rather than merging them?
