[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 1/2] dist-kernel-utils.eclass: fix extension of generated efi file

[Andrew Ammerlaan <andrewammerlaan@gentoo.org>]

This fixes a bug. The 90-uki-copy.install kernel-install plugin insists 
uki's have the .efi extension. You only hit this if you set layout=uki 
in /etc/kernel/install.conf.

layout=uki is probably what you want if you set uefi=yes in dracut.conf 
because in this layout the uki's end up on the ESP. This is required to 
load the uki directly from efi firmware.

Subject: [PATCH] dist-kernel-utils.eclass: fix extension of generated 
efi file

If kernel-install is configured to use the uki layout the extension of 
the efi
file that we install has to be .efi otherwise kernel-install returns an 
error.
