[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
