Note that it's called GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID and not GRUB_DISABLE_UUID.
We won't change that upstream.
We only made it for the Linux kernel root= parameter because in some
configurations root=UUID doestn't work and we can't reliable detect
that.
Our plans are to get totally rid of device.map and so the use of the old
GRUB Legacy style `set root=(hd,xy)' in grub.cfg and only rely on search
--fs-uuid.
