DPS [1] assigns GPT partition type UUIDs to operating system partitions.
Root partitions use architecture-specific type UUIDs so the OS can
discover the intended root filesystem without relying on a root= cmdline
option.
Define DPS_ROOT_PARTITION_TYPE_UUID in asm/dps_root.h for arm64 and select
ARCH_HAS_DPS_ROOT_PARTITION_TYPE_UUID.
