This patch implements UUID support in ext2, then in grub-probe and search
command, and finally in update-grub scripts.
The result is that when UUID can be used (i.e. our /boot is ext2), update-grub
puts the number in grub.cfg as a parameter to search command, and no longer
relies on hardcoded values for the `root' variable.
This is very helpful specially when device.map only maps to broken drive
names (which happens always on OFW and sometimes on BIOS).
