platforms.

fcc8d123ea bootlader/grub2: disable x86-64-efi choice on !BR2_ARCH_IS_64
When x86-64-efi platform is selected, grub2 automatically adds -m64 to the
CFLAGS. This makes the configure script failed when the toolchain does not
have multilib support (like the Buildroot ones).

a3ac2a6f58 grub2: fix a few minor issues in help text
The help text of grub2 explains the detailed steps to create a disk
image with grub2 installed on it. However, the steps for the
BIOS-based systems have a few minor issues fixed by this patch:

 - When calling partx to get the partitions detected, we should do it
   on the /dev/loop0 block device, and not on the underlying disk.img
   image file.
 - The grub-bios-setup utility must be called as root to work properly
   on /dev/loop0.
 - The steps to cleanup the partx and loop device were missing.

8a5a57de1c grub2: Specify boot partition
Since boot partition was not specified, grub tools try to detect it
automatically. This patch add an option to force it.

a5dc0cdced grub2: remove package
Grub 2 has been marked BROKEN in June 2010, and nobody cared to fix it
since then.

At that time, it was marked broken because the build process needed a
Ruby interpreter available on the host, and it's really a pain that
building a bootloader needs such a thing.

I've tried to upgrade the package to Grub2 1.99-rcX, and now it does
not need a Ruby interpreter anymore, but instead requires a tool
called "autogen", which itself needs the Guile Scheme interpreter.

Since we haven't heard any complaints about Grub2 being marked broken,
and since it's such a pain to package, let's get rid of it. Of course,
anybody interested in Grub2 is invited to contribute a working
package.

38a88b6918 grub2: only available on x86 and PowerPC and mark as BROKEN
The build process of grub2 breaks the compilation. It breaks with:

./configure: line 4766: syntax error near unexpected token `external'
./configure: line 4766: `AM_GNU_GETTEXT(external)'

In addition to this, it later requires Ruby. Do we really want to make
Buildroot depend on Ruby being installed on the host ? Do we really
want to build our own Ruby ? Do we even care about Grub2 ?

1d73ef9449 grub2: remove non-existing options
Much of the grub2.mk seems to have been copy/pasted from
grub.mk. However, all the network/splashimage related ./configure
options do not exist in grub2.
