Well, this has been requested before and this is supported by Linux
kernel. So as long as this does not increase core modules size (i.e. is
done outside of partition probing core) I think it will be OK.

There was recent patch series that adds support for user-space
grub-probe. Would be good if implementation can be shared. I do not want
to add any special code to handle partitions UUID to core as this is
very special case of really one partition type only, used infrequently
and can be entirely handled by usual device iteration.
