Currently block devices are only identified by uclass_id and device number. When dealing with removable media this is not enough to uniquely identify the medium.
E.g. after host unbind, host bind we can have the same device number but a different backing file.
The EFI specification uses a 32bit number media ID to identify media. Add a matching field to the block device descriptor.

Shouldn't this be handled by connecting the EFI data to its udevice. I think Takahiro has been looking at this?
NAK to any EFI fields in blk_desc, in any case
