+ 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.
