Since btrfs on-disk format uses little-endian, the searched item types
(ROOT_REF, INODE_REF) need converting the byte order in order to
function properly on big-endian systems.
Some x86 systems might be capable of running a 64-bit Linux kernel but
only use a 32-bit EFI (e.g. Intel Bay Trail systems). It's useful for
grub-install to be able to recognise such systems, to set the default
x86 platform correctly.
To allow grub-install to know the size of the firmware rather than
just the size of the kernel, there is now an extra EFI sysfs file to
describe the underlying firmware. Read that if possible, otherwise
fall back to the kernel type as before.

canonicalize_file_name clashed with gnulib function. Additionally
it was declared in 2 places: emu/misc.h and util/misc.h. Added
grub_ prefix and removed second declaration.
strlcpy is not available on Linux as part of standard libraries.
It probably is not worth extra configure checks espicially as we
need to handle missing function anyway.
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.
* grub-core/osdep/unix/getroot.c (strip_extra_slashes): Move inside
!defined (__GNU__).
(xgetcwd): Likewise.
* include/grub/emu/hostdisk.h (grub_util_hurd_get_disk_info)
[__GNU__]: Add prototype.
* util/getroot.c (grub_util_biosdisk_get_grub_dev) [__GNU__]: Format
long int using %ld rather than %d.
We need to hide "modprobe efivars" error output to avoid confusion. So
consolidate grub_util_exec_* into single function that can optionally redirect
all three standard descriptors and make all other functions compatibility
wrappers.
Also remove include/grub/osdep/exec_unix.h which does not appear to be used
anywhere.
Fix potential crash caused by signed vs. unsigned comparison. Negative
length compares as very large unsigned number causing subsequent NULL access.
Make exhaustive search for all BootNNNN variables to find one matching
requested efi_distributor.
