In the URI device path node, any name rahter than address can be used for
looking up the resources so that DNS service become needed to get answer of the
name's address. Unfortunately the DNS is not defined in any of the device path
nodes so that we use the EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_PROTOCOL and EFI_IP6_CONFIG_PROTOCOL
to obtain it.
These two protcols are defined the sections of UEFI specification.
27.5 EFI IPv4 Configuration II Protocol
27.7 EFI IPv6 Configuration Protocol
include/grub/efi/api.h:
Add new structure and protocol UUID of EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_PROTOCOL and
EFI_IP6_CONFIG_PROTOCOL.
grub-core/net/drivers/efi/efinet.c:
Use the EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_PROTOCOL and EFI_IP6_CONFIG_PROTOCOL to obtain the list
of DNS server address for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. The address of DNS
servers is structured into DHCPACK packet and feed into the same DHCP packet
processing functions to ensure the network interface is setting up the same way
it used to be.

The PXE Base Code protocol used to obtain cached PXE DHCPACK packet is no
longer provided for HTTP Boot. Instead, we have to get the HTTP boot
information from the device path nodes defined in following UEFI Specification
sections.
9.3.5.12 IPv4 Device Path
9.3.5.13 IPv6 Device Path
9.3.5.23 Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) Device Path
This patch basically does:
include/grub/efi/api.h:
Add new structure of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) Device Path
grub-core/net/drivers/efi/efinet.c:
Check if PXE Base Code is available, if not it will try to obtain the netboot
information from the device path where the image booted from. The DHCPACK
packet is recoverd from the information in device patch and feed into the same
DHCP packet processing functions to ensure the network interface is setting up
the same way it used to be.

The vendor class identifier with the string "HTTPClient" is used to denote the
packet as responding to HTTP boot request. In DHCP4 config, the filename for
HTTP boot is the URL of the boot file while for PXE boot it is the path to the
boot file. As a consequence, the next-server becomes obseleted because the HTTP
URL already contains the server address for the boot file. For DHCP6 config,
there's no difference definition in existing config as dhcp6.bootfile-url can
be used to specify URL for both HTTP and PXE boot file.
This patch adds processing for "HTTPClient" vendor class identifier in DHCPACK
packet by treating it as HTTP format, not as the PXE format.

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.

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 we don't have writable grubenv, recordfail doesn't work, which means our
quickboot behavior - with a timeout of 0 - leaves the user without a
reliable way to access the boot menu if they're on UEFI, because unlike
BIOS, UEFI does not support checking the state of modifier keys (i.e.
holding down shift at boot is not detectable).
Handle this corner case by always using a non-zero timeout on EFI when
save_env doesn't work.
Reuse GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT to avoid introducing another variable.

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.

Improve prepare_grub_to_access_device to emit appropriate commands for

This is needed for Ubuntu's Wubi installation method.
This patch isn't inherently Debian/Ubuntu-specific. losetup and
/proc/mounts are Linux-specific, though, so we might need to refine this
before sending it upstream. The changes to the Linux grub.d scripts
might be better handled by integrating 10_lupin properly instead.
Patch-Name: mkconfig-loopback.patch
Setting gfxpayload=keep has been known to cause efifb to be
inappropriately enabled. In any case, with the current Linux kernel the
result of this option is that early kernelspace will be unable to print
anything to the console, so (for example) if boot fails and you end up
dumped to an initramfs prompt, you won't be able to see anything on the
screen. As such it shouldn't be enabled by default in Debian, no matter
what kernel options are enabled.
gfxpayload=keep is a good idea but rather ahead of its time ...
