For OF-enabled platforms with aliases, device file naming is pretty much
solved: If there is mmc2 = &something, then we have a mmc2 device and
a /dev/mmc2 device file. For other platforms like x86, EFI-provided
devices are harder to get ahold of. Add a command to make this
straight-forward to do in scripts. The main use of this is probably to
access parameters like nt_signature or guid:
devlookup /dev/disk0 guid
This would print to console, but we have no output capture yet, so add
an optional -v VARIABLE parameter as well to allow easy use from
scripts.

v1 -> v2:
- fix typo in commit message (Michael)
- accept cdev without /dev/ prefix (Sascha)
- early exit on cdev without dev, e.g. /dev/zero
