Bug Description

block-device-efi creates the correct structure to have an image that is both EFI and BIOS compliant. But the bootloader element only calls grub2 once (for efi). The image is not BIOS bootable.

    Makes EFI images bootable by bios

    For Bios and EFI compatibility, grub must be installed twice.
    This patch adds the bios version when EFI is selected. The GPT EFI block partitioning
    already adds the bios partition, but the bootloader only called grub once.
