This is useful to make the dissection logic at boot a bit safer, as we can reference device nodes by diskseq. This locks down dissection a bit, since it makes it harder to swap out the backing device between the time we dissected and validated it, until we actually mounted it. This is not complete though, as /bin/mount would have to verify the diskseq after opening the diskseq symlink again. See: https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/issues/1786
