Yes I read that from the disk as well.  If you want to see my approach,
it's in the probe_partuuid() function (see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2016-08/msg00019.html)

There's also an older version of this patch set that I submitted back in
June.  You may find the review comments helpful.  The link to the
comments are:

Steve,

I'm not part of the mailing list and I only periodically check it.
However, I was wondering if your request is the same as the code request
that I made earlier this month
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2016-08/msg00018.html).
If not could you tell me how it's different?  If they're different, it
might be worthwhile to combine our efforts into a single code change.

Let me know what you think,
Nicholas Vinson
