+Subject: [PATCH] Add an optional group ("grub") for the guestfs_grub_install
+ API.
+
+This also improves the documentation for this call, pointing out
+several pitfalls in using it.
+
+This unfortunately breaks existing callers that might use
+guestfs_grub_install without checking for this new group.
