   An update that has four recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:

   This update for grub2 provides the following fixes:

   - Filter out autofs and securityfs from /proc/self/mountinfo to speed up
     nfsroot test in large number of autofs mounts (bsc#1069094)
   - Fix reboot in UEFI environments (bsc#1047331)
   - Use /boot/<arch>/loader/linux instead of /contents file to determine if
     the installation media is a SUSE distribution. (bsc#1054453)
   - Use the pvops-enabled default kernel if the traditional xen pv kernel
     and initrd are not found. (bsc#1054453)
   - Build diskboot_tpm.img as separate image to diskboot.img to prevent
     failure in booting on some bogus firmware. To use the TPM image you have
     to use suse-enable-tpm option of grub2-install (bsc#1052401)
