+- Delete no longer needed btrfs bootpath setup
+  
+  The adaption of the bootpath in the grub.cfg file with regards
+  to the btrfs toplevel volume named '@' was the wrong solution.
+  The fixes in the btrfs filesystem setup and the config files
+  etc/default/grub and sysconfig/bootloader caused the grub
+  toolchain to work properly. This Fixes (bsc#1030038)
