grub2/grub2-fix-parsing-of-short-LVM-PV-names.patch
Dr. Werner Fink e0be79606c Accepting request 184477 from home:arvidjaar:branches:Base:System
- add grub2-fix-parsing-of-short-LVM-PV-names.patch - fix PV detection in
  grub-probe when PV name is less than 10 charaters
- add grub2-fix-descriptor-leak-in-grub_util_is_imsm.patch - fix decriptor
  leak which later caused LVM warnings during grub-probe invocation

Both problem were introduced in current trunk, version in 12.3 did not
call external lvm tools.

- remove --enable-grub-emu-usb - it is not needed on physical platform

Subject: [PATCH] fix parsing of LVM PV names for short names
Default format of vgs output is
- two spaces as standard prefix
- PV name left aligned to field width which is 10 characters
This means that if PV name has less than 10 chacaters it has some spaces at
the end.
Example:
linux-chxo:~ # vgs -o pv_name --noheadings | cat -E
/dev/md1 $
/dev/md101$
linux-chxo:~ #
There is no explicit option to turn off alignment; it is implicitly
disabled if one of --separator or --nameprefixes option is used.
--separator was added in 2007, --nameprefixes - in 2009. So let's use
--separator to extend range of versions we are compatible with. Note that
one or another must be used, current parsing is broken otherwise.
