[RFC PATCH v3 1/8] struct device: Add function callback durable_name

[Tony Asleson <tasleson@redhat.com>]

Function callback and function to be used to write a persistent
durable name to the supplied character buffer.  This will be used to add
structured key-value data to log messages for hardware related errors
which allows end users to correlate message and specific hardware.
