+Change 'grub-mkrescue' to honor the 'GRUB_FAT_SERIAL_NUMBER'
+environment variable.  That way, the caller can specify a fixed
+serial number (instead of the randomly chosen one) to create EFI
+images (the 'efi.img' file) that are reproducible bit-for-bit.
+
+Patch by Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>.
