Unless there's something weirder than usual going on in EFI, rEFIt
appears to achieve this by turning off the cursor as one of its early
initialisation steps; so it should be sufficient for GRUB to do the
same.

I have a preliminary patch for this now which I'm testing.  I'm afraid I
got caught up in some build problems so it isn't quite going to make
Alpha 2, but it should be no problem to land it just afterwards.
