Patch for UFS2

[Robert Millan]

Hi!

It seems that the FreeBSD project has a patch that adds UFS2 support in
GRUB in their CVS (ports collection).

I have download it and synced with current GRUB CVS. But chances are that
we can't integrate it. In short: the copyright stuff is a real mess.

It contains code from FreeBSD "biosboot" bootloader, which as its turn
contains code from CMU Mach, whose license has the weird requisite that
you must send an email with the diffs if you modifiy the file. GNU hackers
involved on GNU Mach might have a better idea, but I think asking for
copyright assignment from CMU is a waste of time.

ufs2.h is most likely extracted from the FreeBSD implementation of UFS2 and
copyrighted by Networks Associates Technology, Inc. License is a 3-clause
BSD-style one and seems ok, but I think we'll have serious difficulties if
we try to get copyright assigned from NAT.

If you still want to look at the patch, it's in:
