If you read
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/installation_guide/sect-disk-partitioning-setup-x86#sect-bootloader-mbr-gpt-x86
carefully, it seems to say that if you have UEFI and an MBR hard disk
that already has partitions, you must reformat it to GPT.

The documentation seems to say that Anaconda will use MBR only if the
disk is the right size (fewer than 2^32 sectors) *and* has no
partition.
