First set of patches to add sun4v SPARC support to grub.
Major additions include:
* Properly scan for both SAS and SCSI disks
* Increasing boot performance
* GPT support
* NVMe support
* Various bug fixes
Before this patch, there isn’t a single SAS HBA that was enumerated correctly
on SPARC. I went back 10 years and believe I have added every HBA with OF
support.
Without these patches, on larger systems, it took 15+ minutes to get
to the grub menu. Now it takes about a second.
This code has been tested on T1, T2, T4, T5, and T7 hardware.
