Anaconda, grub and XFS

[James Pearson]

There has been an on going issue with installing grub on an XFS
partition - anaconda will hang at the installing boot loader stage as
grub 'spins'.

The attached patch for 'booty' works round this problem by remounting
the XFS file system that contains /boot as read-only and then as
read-write before running the grub install command.

This patch replaces the current XFS freeze/thaw work round that fails to
work (a lot) more often than not.
