Hi,

r1302 was a change I introduced to make device.map work on non-i386.  However,
with time it appears that it wasn't really a good idea.  The powerpc version
is fragile (see #465365 for an example of breakage), and nobody's really into
maintaining the powerpc-ieee1275 port nowadays.

Then, at some point we started favouring UUIDs over hardcoded drive names in
device.map.  As a result, even if your device.map names like hd0 are
meaningless on ieee1275, this won't matter because grub.cfg uses UUIDs to
access everything (and GRUB itself finds grub.cfg by asking the OFW).

So I propose reverting it (along with the changes that propagated to other
files).  See attached patch.
