Bug#617388: grub-install fails to work on grub-efi-amd64

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: grub-efi-amd64
Version: 1.99~rc1-3
Tags: patch

I tried to get grub-efi-amd64 working on a recent macbook.

It would boot into rescue mode, but trying to insmod anything would
result in error messages like "invalid arch independent EFI magic".

phcoder on #grub produced a patch to grub-install which let me get to a
functional grub shell.  (i applied the patch to grub-install, then
re-ran grub-install -- i had to do this while booted in rescue mode from
a d-i CD).

The patch is attached.  Thanks to phcoder for finding the problem and
fixing it!
