[PATCH 1/1] Fix PCIe LER when GRUB2 accesses non-enabled MMIO data from VGA

A GPU inserted into a PCIe I/O slot disappears during system startup. The problem centers around GRUB and a specific VGA init function in efi_uga.c. This causes an LER (link error recorvery) because the MMIO memory has not been enabled before attempting access. The fix is to add the same coding

[GRUB PARTUUID PATCH V8 2/4] Update grub_gpt_partentry

Rename grub_gpt_part_type to grub_gpt_part_guid and update grub_gpt_partentry to use this type for both the partition type GUID string and the partition GUID string entries. This change ensures that the two GUID fields are handled more consistently and helps to simplify the changes needed to add

[PATCH 3/4] Optionally print less messages at boot

The patch optionally makes grub not show any text (be fully quiet) when timeout_style=hidden is set and the user does not interrupt the boot. Combined with a later patch in this series which makes grub not touch the EFI console unless it actually has some text to print, this will keep the vendor

[PATCH 2/4] Accept Both ESC and F8 as user interrupt keys

On most Bay Trail, Cherry Trail and Apollo Lake devices the ESC key is the hotkey to enter the BIOS/EFI setup screen. This makes it hard for the user to show the grub-menu when it is hidden and a short timeout is used, because pressing ESC too early leads to the user entering the BIOS/EFI setup
