iPXE adds Simple File System Protocol to loaded image handle, as side
effect it also adds Block IO protocol (according to comments, to work
around some bugs in EDK2). GRUB assumes that every device with Block IO
is disk and skips network initialization entirely. But iPXE Block IO
implementation is just a stub which always fails for every operation
so cannot be used. Attempt to detect and skip such devices.
We are using media ID which iPXE sets to "iPXE" and block IO size in
hope that no real device would announce 1B block ...

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.

It is not possible to configure encrypted containers on multiple partitions of
the same disk; after the first one all subsequent fail with
disk/cryptodisk.c:978: already mounted as crypto0
Store partition offset in cryptomount descriptor to distinguish between them.
Currently, some messages cannot be mapped to the port they belong to as
the port number is missing from the output. So add `port: n` to the
debug messages.
Run the command below
$ git grep -l schedulded | xargs sed -i 's/schedulded/scheduled/g'

All current ciphers have blocks which are power of 2 and it's
unlikely to change. Other block length would be tricky to handle anyway.
This restriction allows avoiding extra divisions.
Avoid micro-optimization in grub_diskfilter_make_raid and make sure
name and fullname are independent strings. This avoids need to special
case it everywhere else.
Also fix memory leak in failure case in grub_diskfilter_make_raid.

Commit 750f4bacd3 put LV validation before
actual vg assignment. Make grub_diskfilter_make_raid to assign ->vg as
happens in other cases for consistency. Also clean up redundant code and add
explicit NULL lv->vg check in validate_lv.
Also fix segment validation in validate_lv; it became obvious when crash
was fixed.
Closes: 44199
To be compatible with legacy pv-grub, sort disks by increasing order of handle
value. This allows reusing legacy pv-grub menu.lst which is using hdX names.
