The main reason it's blocking is that without it, there is a conflict
between "grub" and "grub-efi" in PATH of the qemu image. So
"grub-mkstandalone" may not find the EFI target.

With the bootloader refactoring, the "normal" bootloader is passed down
as a gexp from (gnu system vm), allowing "grub-efi" to reign over PATH.

I'd like to make "grub-mkstandalone" a proper bootloader type in the
long run, but that requires some other refactoring that I did not feel
like embarking on right now :P
