pygrub (in identify_disk_image()) detects a DOS style partition table
via the presence of the 0xaa55 signature at the end of the first
sector of the disk.
However this signature is also present in whole-disk configurations
when there is an MBR on the disk. Many filesystems (e.g. ext[234])
include leading padding in their on disk format specifically to enable
this.
So if we think we have a DOS partition table but do not find any
actual partition table entries we may as well try looking at it as a
whole disk image. Worst case is we probe and find there isn't anything
there.
This was reported by Sjors Gielen in Debian bug #745419. The fix was
inspired by a patch by Adi Kriegisch in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745419#27
Tested by genext2fs'ing my /boot into a new raw image (works) and
then:
dd if=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/g2ldr.mbr of=img conv=notrunc bs=512 count=1
to add an MBR (with 0xaa55 signature) to it, which after this patch
also works.

c/s d1b93ea causes substantial functional regressions in pygrub's ability to
parse bootloader configuration files.
c/s d1b93ea itself changed an an interface which previously used exclusively
integers, to using strings in the case of a grub configuration with explicit
default set, along with changing the code calling the interface to require a
string. The default value for "default" remained as an integer.
As a result, any Extlinux or Lilo configuration (which drives this interface
exclusively with integers), or Grub configuration which doesn't explicitly
declare a default will die with an AttributeError when attempting to call
"self.cf.default.isdigit()" where "default" is an integer.
Sadly, this AttributeError gets swallowed by the blanket ignore in the loop
which searches partitions for valid bootloader configurations, causing the
issue to be reported as "Unable to find partition containing kernel"
We should explicitly check type of "default" in image_index() and process it
appropriately.

Currently pygrub can only correctly parse grub2's default attribute when it is
specified as a number. If it is set to ${saved_entry} or ${next_entry} then
the first image (i.e. entry number 0) is selected. If any other value is
specified (typically this would be the string in menuentry) pygrub will crash.
This patch will allow pygrub to interpret default attribute if it is specified
as a string (note that in case of submenus only the leaf string will be
considered).
Also issue a warning if default is set to ${saved_entry} or ${next_entry}.

If no partitions at all are found, pygrub never creates the name 'fs',
resulting in a NameError indicating the lack of fs, rather than a
RuntimeError explaining that no partitions were found.
Set fs to None right at the start, and use the pythonic idiom "if fs is None:"
to protect against otherwise valid values for fs which compare equal to

If a bootloader entry in menu.lst has no additional kernel command line
options listed and the domU.cfg has 'bootargs="--args=something"' the
additional arguments from the config file are not passed to the kernel.
The reason for that incorrect behaviour is that run_grub appends arg
only if the parsed config file has arguments listed.
Fix this by appending args from image section and the config file separatly.
To avoid adding to a NoneType initialize grubcfg['args'] to an empty string.
This does not change behaviour but simplifies the code which appends the
string.

grub-mkrescue internally uses xorriso, which generates a so-called
"Hybrid ISO": The ISO images also contains a DOS partition table,
which allows the identical ISO file to be stored on an USB stick for
booting from it. This breaks PyGrub, since it (wrongly) detects only
the DOS partition table and uses the first partition instead of the
complete ISO file.
Add a check to detect HybridISO files and use offset 0 in addition to
partition table parsing.

Use the proper bootloader class when entering the boot commands
manually (i.e. using the 'c' option). Before this patch the bootloader
was always treated to be Grub but when user is using Grub2/ExtLinux or
Lilo it's rather confusing. After applying this patch the proper
bootloader image class is being used, e.g. Grub2Image for Grub2
etc. when you define the boot commands manually using the 'c' command
in pyGrub.
Also, fix for using isconfig has been applied since if there is not fs
set in the run_grub() method the read_config() would fail since it's
trying to access undefined self.cf which is now being set to parser()
