Add an extra option to grub-install "--force-extra-removable". On EFI
platforms, this will cause an extra copy of the grub-efi image to be
written to the appropriate removable media patch
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOT$ARCH.EFI as well. This will help with broken
UEFI implementations where the firmware does not work when configured
with new boot paths.

This is needed in case the Linux kernel is compiled with CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ or

Kernel will activate it when necessary.

This makes it possible to build generally-useful utilities such as
grub-mount even if the rest of GRUB has not been ported to the target
CPU.
* configure.ac: Add "none" platform. Default to it for unsupported
CPUs rather than stopping with a fatal error. Don't downgrade
x86_64-none to i386. Define COND_real_platform Automake conditional
if the platform is anything other than "none". Don't do any include
directory linking for "none".
* Makefile.am: Skip building grub-core and all bootcheck targets if
!COND_real_platform.
* include/grub/time.h: Don't include <grub/cpu/time.h> if GRUB_UTIL
is defined.

* configure.ac: Remove -m64 from checks for -mcmodel=large and

Commit 588744d0dc caused grub-mkconfig
no longer to be forgiving of trailing spaces on grub-probe output
lines, which among other things means that util/grub.d/10_linux.in
no longer detects LVM. To fix this, make grub-probe's output
delimiting more consistent. As a bonus, this improves the coverage
of the -0 option.
Fixes Debian bug #735935.

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.)

Many tests fail when run as a non-root user on FreeBSD. The failures
all amount to an inability to open files using grub_util_fd_open,
because we cannot set the kern.geom.debugflags sysctl. This sysctl is
indeed important to allow us to do such things as installing GRUB to the
MBR, but if we need to do that and can't then we will get an error
later. Enforcing it here is unnecessary and prevents otherwise
perfectly reasonable operations.

The floppy images built by grub-shell are currently just over the
floppy limit, and the Debian patch set plus the 915resolution extra
bring this up to the point where GRUB tries to actually read past
the floppy limit, breaking fddboot_test. Passing -no-pad buys us
300KiB, which should keep us going for a while.
* tests/util/grub-shell.in: Pass -no-pad to xorriso when building
floppy images, saving 300KiB.

This patch adds bi-endian support for both 32-bit and 64-bit elf files.
It compares the native endianness to the endianness of the elf file, and
swaps the header bytes if necessary. This will allow, for example,
32-bit Big Endian grub to load a 64-bit Little Endian kernel.

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.

Since we're already being booted from the Windows boot loader, including

us from being able to hide the menu if there are no other OSes
