    Thanks a lot for your patch! Could you elaborate on this a little more?

    When was this particular issue fixed. Was this a fix in GRUB upstream?

    I would prefer this to be better documented so we're clear whether there
    might be setups where this workaround may still be required or not.

    Thanks,
    Adrian
