Patch-Name: mkconfig_recovery_title.patch
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.

Patch-Name: quick_boot.patch
This is kind of a mess, requiring lots of OS-specific code to iterate
over all possible devices. However, we use it in a number of scripts to
discover devices and reimplementing those in terms of something else
would be very complicated.
Patch-Name: restore_mkdevicemap.patch
* docs/grub-dev.texi (Font Metrics): Exclude @image command from DVI
builds, since we don't have an EPS version of font_char_metrics.png.
Add leading dot to image extension per the Texinfo documentation.
Add a new timeout_style environment variable and a corresponding
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE configuration key for grub-mkconfig. This
controls hidden-timeout handling more simply than the previous
arrangements, and pressing any hotkeys associated with menu entries
during the hidden timeout will now boot the corresponding menu entry
immediately.
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=<non-empty> + GRUB_TIMEOUT=<non-zero> now
generates a warning, and if it shows the menu it will do so as if
the second timeout were not present. Other combinations are
translated into reasonable equivalents.
Remove reference to grub-default from description of saved default entry.
Also mention that GRUB_DEFAULT=saved depends on availability of environment
block.
