This patch improperly assumes that GRUB is the only thing in EFI that

Yeah this is kind of a crap trade-off I know. The problem is this is just on one box I'm testing with, we've got _a metric shit ton_ of boxes, if one of them returns 0x2 suddenly it can't be provisioned. I realize this is racey with other things on UEFI doing stuff, but I don't have a better answer. Maybe a range check for obviously bogus addresses? Or maybe once we get a non-NULL from GetStatus() we call it again until we get a NULL from GetStatus()? Thanks,

Josef
