Use full EFI path to map drives for grub (#598572)
 
NOTE: This requires grub-0.97-66 to work correctly.

On EFI we map the boot drive so that there is no question as to where
/boot is located. This requires a change in grub to parse the EFI
device path from the map command.

Here is an update image, created against current rhel6-branch
(65069be291e3c9792424e7fb301829e86ee2d97a)

http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/598572.img

I've tested it somewhat with my EFI machine -- which has been giving me
fits. It seems to have lost the ability to use any USB devices other
than the USB keyboard. The mouse drops off the bus as does the USB flash
drive I was using to test with.

Ack with one comment.

Without being an EFI expert, the code itself looks fine. The only comment I
have is below.

Would rather this just be 'efibootmgr' since explicit paths in

Yeah, it should be.

This should either be "device" or "efimap", not just "map".

I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record.

Okay, so the problem we were seeing yesterday is that installGrub() is getting
called after writeGrubConf(), but writeGrubConf() needs the result of installGrub()
in order to work right here. I've updated your patch to swap the order of those
on UEFI machines, which is kindof ugly in that it's not really generic, but it
should actually work.

The way to avoid that problem is either a) do our own building of the disk's efi
device path or b) teach efibootmgr how to show us the device path without changing
or reading the boot order table. Neither of those seems practical right now.

I'll send an updated patch in response to this message.

I don't have the equipment to test this, but it looks alright to me.
