Note that this code is in powerpc/../grub-install.in already, and in my version
of i386/efi/grub-install.in it didn't made in. Instead, sanity check there is:
fs_module=`$grub_probe --target=fs --device-map=${device_map} ${grubdir}`
if test "x$fs_module" = xfat; then :; else
echo "${grubdir} doesn't look like an EFI partition." 1>&2
exit 1
fi
