That's a complex question that doesn't have a simple answer. What are you really trying to do? IOKit drivers are probed asynchronously and without respect to their purposes. When block storage devices come online, the kernel decides which one is the root filesystem. If you are netbooting, none of them may be the root filesystem. If you are booting from software RAID, more than one of the physical devices might contribute to the logical root volume. Is it possible for a storage driver to determine if the volume in question is the boot volume when the driver's probe() method is called?
