Kernel: Allow to boot from a partition with partition UUID

Instead of specifying the boot argument to be root=/dev/hdXY, now
one can write root=PARTUUID= with the right UUID, and if the partition
is found, the kernel will boot from it.

This feature is mainly used with GUID partitions, and is considered to
be the most reliable way for the kernel to identify partitions.
