The removed patch was part of the CVE patches ported recently into RHEL but
is causing segfaults on dual boot (Windows & RHEL) systems when generating the
grub configuration with the grub2-mkconfig tool. At some point the same patch
will come back with the corresponding fix but for the time being, it is removed.

Xen PV and PVH guest use direct kernel boot and may use 'pygrub' tool to
parse guest's grub config. The tool is incompatible with BLS and thus
99-grub-mkconfig.install disables it. The problem is observed with HVM
guests which are 'normal' VMs and don't require pygrub compatibility. E.g.
legacy AWS instance types are of this kind. Disabling BLS for them is
undesired and unjustified. Luckily, kernel driver for Xen provides
'/sys/hypervisor/guest_type' interface telling us which type of guest are
we running in.

Compared to previous commit, this is a better approach to handle SPCR null base
address indicating no redirection, doing the null check on the caller instead of
the callee.

Fix the rpm verificaton issues. On the other hand, 2.06-121 [1]
introduced a change on grub2-mkconfig where it prevents overwritting
`${EFI_HOME}/grub.cfg` with side effects on the `%posttrans`
scriptlet, where it tries to recreate it in case this file does not
exist but due to [1] the `${EFI}/grub.cfg` file would never be
created. Fix the `%posttrans` code with the logic but applied to
${GRUB_HOME}/grub.cfg. On the same scriplet, make sure
${EFI_HOME}/grub.cfg is present before grepping into it.

xz decompression is very slow and slows down boot by around 5 seconds on
aarch64/Apple M1 when using the default font. Switch to lzop, which
takes less than one second to uncompress.
This increases EFI core image size by around 11%.

When installing grub2-tools grub2-tools-minimal is pulled in which
obsoletes grub2-tools causing grub2-tools to not get installed.
Remove the obsoletes so that grub2-tools can be installed again.

8800efcb0b replaced '-a' with '--preserve=timestamps' to avoid
preserving ownership information on non vfat file systems. This breaks
copying of the 'dtb' directory on aarch64 systems since '-a' implies
'-r'. Add '-r' to the single place where 'dtb/' is copied to /boot.
Resolves: #2243060
Fixes: 8800efcb0b ("Do not preserve ownership or xattrs on copied files")

When kernel-install is called for a UKI, 20-grub.install copies it to /boot
which is totally unneeded, UKIs are now handled by the standard systemd's
90-uki-copy.install (systemd-253+) correctly which places them to the ESP.

As noticed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2239008#c16, when
compiling a kernel as a user and doing 'sudo make install', and when using a
non-vfat fs for the install destination, the file would end up owned by the
user. This is not useful at all, so let's only preserve the timestamps on the
copied file, no other attributes.
