What's the status on this, please?
Greetings.

Introduces a new env var which specifies which device is the rootfs
device to be used in Linux, passed to Linux via bootargs, identified by
the rootfs partition's PARTUUID.
global.bootm.root_dev supplements global.bootm.appendroot, in that it
overrides appendroot's naïve default, which picks the partition that the
kernel resides on (global.bootm.image).
Example:
detect mmc2
global.bootm.image='/mnt/mmc2.0/zImage'
global.bootm.appendroot=1
global.bootm.root_dev=/dev/mmc2.1
boot mmc

Changes from v2:
- correct commit message line lengths
Changes from v1:
- minor commit message change
Changes from RFC v2:
- replaced path_get_linux_rootarg("invalid") by ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)
- added error messages. (I've made them mutually exclusive to prevent
NULL-pointer dereference)
