This is backported from lbmk at revision:
09bed9a4c3257dbf9b4d59975db0071472ed67eb

In comparison to the GNU Boot configuration, Libreboot's
GRUB configuration provides the following improvements:

* Support for scanning of BTRFS sub volumes, on most setups.
* Support for scanning syslinux and extlinux configs, in
  the main "Load Operating System" menuentry. This will make
  distros automatically boot in most cases, where they use
  extlinux/syslinux instead of GRUB.
* Support for scanning EFI System Partitions, when scanning
  for GRUB, Syslinux and Extlinux configuration files. This
  adds support for UEFI-based distro installations; the GNU
  Boot supported mainboards are all BIOS-based, but the user
  may have transferred an HDD/SSD from another system, where
  UEFI was used. On UEFI-based systems, there is a special FAT
  partition called the ESP (EFI System Partition) that boot
  loaders and configurations are installed to.
* The ESP support is also extended to USB-based booting. This
  increases support out of the box for more distro installers,
  many of which are now UEFI-only, or only well-tested for UEFI.
  Many distros today now use *GRUB* (built for UEFI) on their
  install media, but these can also be used on bare metal setups
  such as GNU Boot's GRUB payload.
* The fallback entry was removed, that assumed /dev/sda1 as
  the root partition; where scanning of GRUB configurations
  failed, GNU Boot GRUB would try this fallback logic, but such
  logic may in some cases result in the system being booted,
  in such a way that *breaks* the user's distro, so it's better
  that GNU Boot only scan for GRUB/Extlinux/Syslinux configs
  and return with an error if none are found. This is also how
  Libreboot does it nowadays.

With this, and the previous patches that I've committed, GNU
Boot's GRUB setup should now be in feature parity with Lbreboot.
