grub2 has a problem handling the case where root ("/") resides on a
BTRFS multi-volume storage.
The patch below corrects the problem. This has been tested on both real
and virtual hardware on Fedora 18, Fedora 19, and Fedora 20-Beta.
I submitted this last January but it appears to have fallen through the
creacks.

Subject: [PATCH] support for multi-device btrfs volume
The current code produces error messages if passed a device
list with multiple devices for a btrfs volume. It worked OK
for single device btrfs volume.
This has been regression tested with root/boot on a regular
partition, single device VG logical volume, and single
device btrfs volume.
The name was change from device to devices to indicate that it
could be a device list plus the comments were added.
