init: add support for root devices specified by partition UUID
This is the third patch in a series which adds support for storing partition metadata, optionally, off of the hd_struct. One major use for that data is being able to resolve partition by other identities than just the index on a block device. Device enumeration varies by platform and there's a benefit to being able to use something like EFI GPT's GUIDs to determine the correct block device and partition to mount as the root. This change adds that support to root= by adding support for the following syntax: root=PARTUUID=hex-uuid Signed-off-by: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
