Eric Snowberg 927267be58 sparc64: Add bios boot partition support 
Add BIOS Boot Partition support for sparc64 platforms.  This will work a
little different than x86.  With GPT, both the OBP "load" and "boot" commands
are partition aware and neither command can see the partition table.  Therefore
the entire boot-loader is stored within the BIOS Boot Partition and nothing
is stored within the bootstrap code area of MBR.

To use it, the end user will issue the boot command with the path pointing to
the BIOS Boot Partition.

For example with the disk below:

Model: Unknown (unknown)
Disk /dev/nvme1n1: 1600GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name  Flags
1      1049kB  1075MB  1074MB   ext3
2      1075MB  1076MB  1049kB                     bios_grub
3      1076MB  1600GB  1599GB                     lvm

To boot grub2 from OBP, you would use:

boot /pci@302/pci@1/pci@0/pci@13/nvme@0/disk@1:b

README 

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please
see:
