Patch for grub2-bhyve port
This is a patch made according to the previously mentioned Github PR. It adds a
patch file under `files/` that patches `grub-core/fs/ext2.c` in the grub2-bhyve
repository.
As mentioned in the Github PR, this is a upstream code change that:
1. Adds new ext4 incompatible feature flags
2. Marks them as safe to ignore with reasons given in the comments
grub2-bhyve currently refuses to mount ext4 filesystems if it sees these flags
set. This patch fixes the problem and make ext4 mountable again.
The patch uploaded should be a solution before the Github PR is merged, since
the Github repo is currently not maintained.
