This implies that we'll have to support 6 different kinds of conversions
between path, drive and device, some of which might even be impossible.

Besides, perhaps it'd be cleaner to split this conversion to a separate
tool, so that grub-probe only operates on devices, and the other tool
converts paths to devices (but NOT necessarily devices to paths!).

What does everyone think about this?

Yes, it is really necessary!

How about this proposal:

$ grub-convert
Usage: grub-convert [-d|-g] [DEVICE|DRIVE]

Convert back and forth between Linux devices and GRUB drives.

-d, --device=DEVICE convert DEVICE into a GRUB-drive [e.g. /dev/hda1 -> (hd0,1)] -g, --drive=DRIVE convert DRIVE into a Linux device [e.g. (hd0,1) -> /dev/hda1]
-h, --help                display this message and exit
-V, --version             print version information and exit

Cheers,
Fabian
