Is it 99, or 100% ? I think the only case we have left is when user does:
grub-install "(hd0)"
instead of:
grub-install /dev/sda
and IMHO we should deprecate this syntax so users will stop assuming GRUB
will guess "(hd0)" as the first BIOS drive.
However, I think disk/host.c still needs device.map only to know which
devices have to be registered.
