Is this behavior part of UEFI specification?
Even so, it would be better to describe it in uefi.rst (or else),
including URI usage.

I wonder why not adding "address" parameter to make this function
more generic as Simon suggested.

I think that blkmap should provide a way to *probe* its child block
device. In fact,
        struct blkmap *bm = dev_get_plat(bm_dev);
        device_probe(bm->blk);
should work. (Not tested though)

Does bm_dev have more than one block devices?

Another idea would be to create a new boot option (as a removable
media) and to invoke it from bootmgr.

Nak.
try_load_from_uri_path() is called from try_load_entry().
This function's purpose is solely to load an image.
The execution should be triggered later.
