Message-Id: <1343635318-5824-1-git-send-email-suertreus@gmail.com>
Date:	Mon, 30 Jul 2012 01:01:58 -0700
From:	Andy Getzendanner <suertreus@...il.com>
To:	Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk>
Cc:	linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, suertreus@...il.com
Subject: [PATCH] block: extends name_to_dev_t() syntax for specifying e.g. root=.

Enables use of GPT partition labels, APM partition labels, and MBR
disk signatures to specify block devices during early boot.
Traditional device names and GPT partition UUIDs are still supported.
This is useful on systems with nondeterministic device ordering.

Signed-off-by: Andy Getzendanner <suertreus@...il.com>

---

Tested with an MBR disk, an APM disk, and a GPT disk on ppc32 and
amd64 using qemu.
