The get_part_uuid() function made an assumption that the target grub
device is a partition device and accessed device->disk->partition
without checking for NULL. There are four situations where this
assumption is problematic:
1. The device is a net device instead of a disk.
2. The device is an abs

connection internally will slow down the boot, even though the search
was s
