[yocto] qemu EFI build failure

[Kamble, Nitin A]

Darren,
  I have reworked the commits to fix issues while building on other distros.
Can you check this branch http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=nitin/grub-efi
It is working for me on Fedora 14, for which the other grub-efi commit was failing for me.

Thanks,
Nitin
