Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: fix prefix + signed grub special case for PowerVM
Mea culpa: when testing the PowerPC special case for signed grub, I
assumed qemu and PowerVM would behave identically. This was wrong, and
with hindsight a pretty dumb error.
This fixes it. This time, I am actually testing on PowerVM.
