I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were opposed to the patch.  I assumed
that you just wanted to make some improvements.  Nobody was against the
drivemap command in principle.  The discussion was about minor details.

I'm fine with the change from "const void" to "const char", but we need
to remove a preceding comment about void labels.

As for the parse_biosdisk() change, I'd like to see an explanation.  I
understand you want to allow remapping invalid devices, and I'm fine
with that.  But then list_mappings() should be changed accordingly and
revparse_biosdisk() may need to be eliminated.

No, it was:

  if (grub_drivemap_int13_oldhandler != 0)
    return GRUB_ERR_NONE;

The code was refusing to uninstall the handler if it was installed.

I checked the logic by patching the chainloader code to return instead
of giving control to the bootsector.
