I hope that's OK. If you'd like me to revert it, let me know. It might be a good idea to include this in the release, else grub-efi and grub-yeeloong won't work. Thanks for the info and for the patch; I'll try and get Steve to make sure EFI things work for the next release, since I've got no such setups to perform tests on.
