mapped-devices: LUKS partitions can be designated by their UUID.

* gnu/system/mapped-devices.scm (device-mapping-service-type): Add
'modules' and 'imported-modules' fields to 'shepherd-service'.
(open-luks-device): Use 'find-partition-by-luks-uuid' to lookup the
partition when SOURCE is a bytevector.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (base-initrd): Augment 'use-modules'
form.
* doc/guix.texi (Mapped Devices): Give example with a UUID.

 @cindex disk encryption
 @cindex LUKS
 This example specifies a mapping from @file{/dev/sda3} to
 @file{/dev/mapper/home} using LUKS---the
 @url{http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup,Linux Unified Key Setup}, a
-standard mechanism for disk encryption.  The @file{/dev/mapper/home}
+standard mechanism for disk encryption.  In the second example, the UUID
+(unique identifier) is the LUKS UUID returned for the device by a
+command like:
+
+@example
+cryptsetup luksUUID /dev/sdx9
+@end example
+
+The @file{/dev/mapper/home}
 device can then be used as the @code{device} of a @code{file-system}
 declaration (@pxref{File Systems}).  The @code{mapped-device} form is
 detailed below.
