improving BTRFS support in Fedora

Currently (Fedora 20), installing onto a btrfs subvolume with /boot as a btrfs subvolume or as a directory on the btrfs rootfs is disabled. This was done primarily because grubby had problems and could not handle these configuration. With development of Fedora 21 in process, it is time to rec

ve forward with this. Gene Czarcinski has posted a proposed change to new-kernel-pkg to use grub2-mkconfig instead of grubby for updating bootloader config, which would address this bug but be a late, major change in our behaviour. The alternative would be to fix the problem in grubby. Either wa
