I could have, the only thing I had to do was add the definitions for the 
efi api's that we are missing, so the trigger stuff basically.  It was 
just copy and pasting, it's not like I changed any functionality, I 
didn't touch the driver at all.  Their grub2 version seems to be a 
little older.  If somebody gets a driver into the git tree then I'll 
happily test it, but this port definitely didn't work and I have little 
interest in trying to adapt somebody else's code and trying to debug it. 
 Thanks,
