Uhm it seems I need the system device name as well.  Please look at this new
patch with an additional option (I had to rework the grub_guess_root_device
interface to get the info yet unprocessed by grub_util_biosdisk_get_grub_dev).

        * util/i386/pc/getroot.c (grub_guess_root_device): Stop using
        grub_util_biosdisk_get_grub_dev to convert system device to GRUB device.
        * util/grub-emu.c: Use grub_util_biosdisk_get_grub_dev with the string
        returned by grub_guess_root_device.
        * util/i386/pc/grub-setup.c: Ditto.
        * util/i386/pc/grub-probefs.c: Ditto.

        * util/i386/pc/grub-probefs.c: Add two options (--grub-root-device and
        --root-device) to print GRUB or system device and exit.
