EFI's GPT partitioning scheme expects that all partitions have a unique
identifiers. After initial partition scanning, this information is
completely lost to the rest of the kernel.
efi_partition_by_guid exposes GPT parsing support in a limited fashion
to allow other portions of the kernel to map a partition from GUID to
map.
This change is motivated the desire to have the ability to specify a
UUID argument to a device mapper target allowing it to select the device
by the UUID.
