Would previously allow digits larger than the base and didn't check that
subtracting the difference from 0-9 to lowercase letters for characters
larger than 9 didn't result in a value lower than 9, which allowed the
parses: ` = 9, _ = 8, ^ = 7, ] = 6, \ = 5, and [ = 4

zfs-initramfs currently provides extraneous, undesired symlinks to
devices directly underneath /dev/ to satisfy zpool's historical output
of unqualified device names. By including this environment variable to
signal our intent to zpool, zfs-linux packages can drop the symlink
behavior when updating to its upstream or backported output behavior.

VSX bit is enabled by default for Power7 and Power8 CPU models,
so we need to disable them in order to avoid instruction exceptions.
Kernel will activate it when necessary.

Some powerpc machines require not updating the NVRAM. This can be handled
by existing grub-install command-line options, but it's friendlier to detect
this automatically.
On chrp_ibm machines, use the nvram utility rather than nvsetenv. (This
is possibly suitable for other machines too, but that needs to be
verified.)

If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide the
menu. Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus if
available to check whether Shift is pressed. If it is, show the menu,
otherwise boot immediately. If keystatus is not available, then fall
back to a short delay interruptible with Escape.
This may or may not remain Ubuntu-specific, although it's not obviously
wanted upstream. It implements a requirement of
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/KarmicBootExperienceDesignSpec#Bootloader.
If the previous boot failed (defined as failing to get to the end of one
of the normal runlevels), then show the boot menu regardless.

If this option is enabled, then do all of the following:
Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're
actually offering a shell prompt. (This is believed to be a workaround
for a different bug. We'll go with this for now, but will drop this in
favour of a better fix upstream if somebody figures out what that is.)
Don't clear the screen just before booting if we never drew the menu in
the first place.
Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration. In some
ways this is awkward because it makes debugging harder, but it's a
requirement for a smooth-looking boot process; we may be able to do
better in future. Upstream doesn't want this, though.
Disable the cursor as well, for similar reasons of tidiness.
Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode.
Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down. Upstream
doesn't want this, as it makes debugging harder. Ubuntu wants it to
provide a cleaner boot experience.

It may be possible, particularly in recovery situations, to be booted
using EFI on x86 when only the i386-pc target is installed. There's
nothing actually stopping us installing i386-pc from an EFI environment,
and it's better than returning a confusing error.

Returned from the OpenProtocol operation, the grub_efi_block_io_media
structure contains the io_align field, specifying the minimum alignment
required for buffers used in any data transfers with the device.
Make grub_efidisk_readwrite() allocate a temporary buffer, aligned to
this boundary, if the buffer passed to it does not already meet the
requirements.
Also sanity check the io_align field in grub_efidisk_open() for
power-of-two-ness and bail if invalid.
Map EFI_NO_MEDIA to GRUB_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE that is ignored by diskfilter. This
actually matches pretty close (we obviously attempt to read outside of media)
and avoids adding more error codes.
This affects only internally initiated scans. If read/write from removable is
explicitly requested, we still return an error and text explanation is more
clear for user than generic error.

ipv6 routing in grub2 is broken, we cannot talk to anything outside our local
network or anything that doesn't route in our global namespace. This patch
fixes this by doing a couple of things
1) Read the router information off of the router advertisement. If we have a
router lifetime we need to take the source address and create a route from it.
2) Changes the routing stuff slightly to allow you to specify a gateway _and_ an
interface. Since the router advertisements come in on the link local address we
need to associate it with the global address on the card. So when we are
processing the router advertisement, either use the SLAAC interface we create
and add the route to that interface, or loop through the global addresses we
currently have on our interface and associate it with one of those addresses.
We need to have a special case here for the default route so that it gets used,
we do this by setting the masksize to 0 to mean it encompasses all networks.
The routing code will automatically select the best route so if there is a
closer match we will use that.
With this patch I can now talk to ipv6 addresses outside of my local network.
Thanks,

Prevent buffer over-read in grub_machine_mmap_iterate. This was
causing phys_base from being calculated properly. This then
caused the wrong value to be placed in ramdisk_image within
struct linux_hdrs. Which prevented the ramdisk from loading on
boot.

When running grub in a VGA console of a KVM pseries guest on PowerPC,
you can see the cursor sweeping over the whole line when entering a
character in editor mode. This is visible because grub always refreshes
the whole line when entering a character in editor mode, and drawing
characters is quite a slow operation with the firmware used for the
powerpc pseries guests (SLOF).
To avoid this ugliness, the cursor should be disabled when refreshing
the screen contents during update_screen().

lexer calls yylex_fatal on fatal internal errors. yylex_fatal itself is
declared as noreturn and calls exit. Returning from noreturn function has
unpredictable consequences.
