Ville, could you give these patches a try on your P43s and see if
"Try Spectrum" can boot now?

This will make it easier to dual-boot Spectrum with other operating
systems, and hopefully make it possible to avoid chainloading (which
has firmware compatibility issues) in the combined image.
We're not exactly following Boot Loader Specification[1] best
practices here — we don't namespace installation by version or
machine-id. But it's better than what we had before, and I think
it'll be easier to figure out what to do about namespacing once we've
figured out how updates will work.

Some UEFI implementations (like the one on Ville's Thinkpad P43s)
failed to chainload Spectrum from GRUB. Now that Spectrum has a
proper bootloader, we can avoid that chainloading entirely, which will
hopefully make the broken firmware happier.

Yes, Lenovo P43s "Try Spectrum" boots to desktop now. Thanks.
