[PATCH 1 of 6] pygrub should check all GPT partitions

On Fedora 16 the first GPT partition is a boot partition for grub2 with
the grub2 configuration in the second partition.
Check all GPT partitions for grub configuration, not just the first.

The patches are not enough to get "e" to work, but still an improvement 
of course, so:

Is this comment now inaccurate?

Yes. I haven't tested the case where the first partition is an EFI system 
partition though I think my changes would be harmless.

Edit entry mode.  It fails with a curses error when I use it on the F16 
grub2.cfg, which is what prompted me to do the patch for NotFoundError.

Thanks.  I have applied all six of these.  I also removed this
obsolete comment:

>      # assume the first partition is an EFI system partition.

and fixed up the commit messages a bit.

Thanks,
Ian.
