Yes. Did you test it?

It may make sense if we started to actually use it. Actually we may
probably just as well get rid of special case grub_gpt_part_type_t.

Linux is using PARTUUID and patches from Nicholas use --target=partuuid,
so let's stick to it.

You need to read from partition parent, not from partition itself. Usual
hack is to reset disk->partition = disk->partition->parent. See e.g. in
gpt.c itself or in mentioned grub-probe patches.

May be we need to provide something like grub_read_partition_container()
to encapsulate it.

No, EFI GUIDs are little-endian as was discussed in another subthread.
See also grub-probe patches.
