Okay.  We really need someone to step in and write disk/evms.c if access to
EVMS partitions is to be supported.  Anyway, I added the logic to detect them,
please see attached patch.

Does this make `grub-probe -t drive /boot' work?  I assume
`grub-probe -t fs /boot' will still fail;  but which error does it give?
(please use -vv).

Thanks
