[Bug 1046429] Re: include patch to resolve bug where grub2 cannot boot Dell PowerEdge 12G systems in UEFI mode

[Colin Watson]

I'm currently working on packaging GRUB 2.00, and hope to get that into
Ubuntu 12.10.  Since the patch against 2.00 for this is very much
simpler, I'd prefer to take that route if possible.

Bug description:
  We (Dell) would like grub2 patched in Quantal so that it is able to
  boot using grub2 on Dell PowerEdge 12G systems that are in UEFI mode.

  In May, we reported this bug in Precise's version of grub2 (although
  our patch has not yet been included in an update of grub2 for
  Precise). See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1001009>.
  We provided a patch that works against grub2_1.99-21ubuntu3 as well as
  one that applies against version 2.00. I've included the one for 1.99.
  It has not yet been included in the grub2 package for Quantal.
