-> GRUB: Support for UKI - Disable 10_linux or breaks at kernel updates - Create 09_custom entry -> rEFInd: - Remove fallback entry similar to other bootloaders - With UKI still one dead entry can be hidden with DEL key -> All bootloaders: - Default to UKI on if supported, if using no UKI and /efi Causes systemd boot to not load, because it needs a XTLDRBOOT part Safer default for modern setups and simpler sec boot compat

Based on the tag grub-2.14-rc1 (see https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=14c2966c725774aa58a811dada3277c7095cbcb3), GRUB will support UKI without chainloading as is being done in this pull request. I have been waiting for 2.14 to release to submit a patch (see #2193). |

This patch makes it so that Grub supports UKI. Also makes it so that rEFInd is handled consistently like other boot-loaders (no fallback entry).
Finally it enables UKI by default if the system has UEFI and a supported boot-loader. Thanks to u/Synthetic451 u/Hermocrates and u/plasmamax1 on Reddit post and is only since mkinitcpio v40.
Making this default fixes systemdboot that needs a
XTLDRBOOTpart to function for/efi, IF UKI is not selected (something we do not have in our disk handling).Again safer default so user does not get not boot-able system.
This is fixed in
