[core-updates] grub fails to build on i686-linux |

On the 'core-updates' branch, both 'grub' and 'grub-efi' fail to build
on i686-linux. See below for the relevant excerpt from the build log
of 'grub-efi', but the error is the same for both.

Thanks very much! Hydra has now successfully built GRUB on i686-linux,
so I'm closing this bug.

It would be better to auto-detect the presence of KVM support at run
time, but that's a wishlist item that deserves its own ticket. This is
good enough for now.

Sounds great, thanks again!
