+Subject: [PATCH] block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitions
+
+The MSDOS/MBR partition table includes a 32-bit unique ID, often referred
+to as the NT disk signature. When combined with a partition number within
+the table, this can form a unique ID similar in concept to EFI/GPT's
+partition UUID. Constructing and recording this value in struct
+partition_meta_info allows MSDOS partitions to be referred to on the
+kernel command-line using the following syntax:
+
+root=PARTUUID=0002dd75-01
