v2->v3:
* rebased on master
* added Thomas' suggestion of not clobbering an existing
/etc/kernel/proxmox-boot-manual-kernels
* fixed a typo in promox-boot/functions (proxmox-boot-boot-manual-kernels)
* gave the installer another succesful try (with btrfs raid1)
original cover-letter for the v2:
these patches are still based on v3 of the pin/unpin addtion [1].
Not sending the pin/unpin again, since the feedback was mostly positive and
I think Thomas had already some improvements on top of it prepared locally.
changes v1->v2:
* added a fix for #3729 to pve-kernel-meta - not directly related to the
series - but since the series moves the affected lines around quite a bit
I thought we can merge them together (can gladly send it on top of master)
* else mostly incorporated Fabian's feedback - huge thanks!
* comments where appropriate are added to the individual patches
original cover-letter for the v1:
This patchset is the result from the discussion on the rfc for using grub as
only boot loader [0].
The patches for pve-kernel-meta are based on top of the v3 of the
`pin/unpin` addition [1].
The patches for pve-installer are independent from the pve-kernel-meta ones
(my tests used the current PVE 7.1 ISO w/o updating the pve-kernel-helper
package) - but I still consider them linked.
changes from the rfc:
* instead of using grub everywhere - we now use systemd-boot always for efi
systems and leave grub only for legacy booted systems
* instead of unconditionally installing the boot-loaders for both modes on
all ESPs users now can opt-in to installing the boot-loader for the other
bootmode (both are updated if their configs are present, by default we
only install the boot-loader for the current boot mode)
Tested the pve-kernel-meta with 3 VMs (ZFS+uefi, ZFS+legacy, ext4+uefi) and
switching boot-modes (after the necessary preparations).
Tested the pve-installer by scping proxinstall into a VM and installing
on btrfs+uefi, ext4+uefi, btrfs+legacy
