Revisions for r20150126 (relative to r20150124)

This is a bug fix release based on r20150124. It contains a few small changes:

  • grub.cfg: hardcode the list of partitions to search (speeds up booting considerably. GRUB regexp isn't very well optimized)
  • Docs (x200.html hcl): Remove incorrect information
  • Documentation (bbb_setup.html): Fix typos
  • build-release: delete ich9fdgbe_{4m,8m}.bin files from ich9gen
    • These were accidentically included in the r20150124 release. They are generated from ich9gen so it's ok, but they don't need to be in the archive.
  • Documentation (grub_cbfs.html): Looping in libreboot_grub.cfg (Add notes about it if the user copied from grub.cfg in CBFS.)
