The release of -rc4 reminded me that i never got around to pinging about
this set:

As Hans de Goede already remarked for the first revision of this set,
this patchset should probably be included in final v2015.04 to prevent
the boot behaviour of the distro boot commands changing again post
release.
For reference, v2015.1 just tried from the first partition on the
various devices, current master tries to boot from all partitions (due
to one of my earlier patchsets) and with this patchset we again change
to just booting from partitions with the boot flag set, falling back to
the first partition (as was the consensus from the mailinglist
discussion).
