grub_machine_fini on efi systems

[phcoder]

Hello. I found a serious problem which may be the cause of linux not 
booting on some efi systems. grub_machine_fini is called before 
grub_linux_boot. grub_machine_fini returns all memory allocated by grub2 
to efi. This includes all memory used to load modules. So actually efi 
can rightfully destroy linux module before it has slightest chance to do 
its job. I asked step21 to declare linux boot as returnable to stop 
grub_machine_fini. However it's nothing more then a workaround. I hope 
that someone will find a way to fix this nicely because for the moment I 
see none. (perhaps tomorrow I'll find sth)
Regards
Vladimir 'phcoder' Serbinenko
