Sorry, I got confused. The generic linux-device / grub-drive conversion tool
is no problem. I think it's fine to add it.
The problem is if you need grub-probe to work with an input different than
a filesystem path.
If you want the former, feel free to send a patch to grub-devel. For the
latter, look at my questions and send some feedback.
Or, if nobody wants to send feedback, I guess I'll have to propose something
myself. But I prefer if this is discussed (given that we have time).
