The following patch fixes an important issue when booting FreeBSD.
FreeBSD's kldstat(2) function expects that the full pathname will be
provided to kernel / modules. The current GRUB was striping this out and
only leaving the filename itself. This broke dtrace and other things
which used the full pathname to locate the kernel or modules on disk.

The attached patch fixes this behavior.
