/** @file
GUID definition for the Linux Initrd media device path
Linux distro boot generally relies on an initial ramdisk (initrd) which is
provided by the loader, and which contains additional kernel modules (for
storage and network, for instance), and the initial user space startup code,
i.e., the code which brings up the user space side of the entire OS.
In order to provide a standard method to locate this initrd, the GUID defined
in this file is used to describe the device path for a LoadFile2 Protocol
instance that is responsible for loading the initrd file.
The kernel EFI Stub will locate and use this instance to load the initrd,
therefore the firmware/loader should install an instance of this to load the
relevant initrd.
