block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitions
The MSDOS/MBR partition table includes a 32-bit unique ID, often referred to as the NT disk signature. When combined with a partition number within the table, this can form a unique ID similar in concept to EFI/GPT's partition UUID. Constructing and recording this value in struct partition_meta_info allows MSDOS partitions to be referred to on the kernel command-line using the following syntax: root=PARTUUID=0002dd75-01 Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <[email protected]> Cc: Tejun Heo <[email protected]> Cc: Will Drewry <[email protected]> Cc: Kay Sievers <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
