The exisiting label= option offer to boot on a gpt partition that have
a particular label.
The existing guuid= option offer to boot on a disk or partition with a
particular label.
This new option offer to boot the disk that have a partition which
have a given label.
The label is so just a way to detect a disk to boot.
A typical use is for making an intelligent localboot like :
label localboot
com32 chain.c32
append dlabel=datapartition
This allow booting on a disk that sports a least one partition
labelled "datapartition".
You can consider dlabel= doing almost what mbr= does but by inspecting
the gpt partitions label.
