-> not needed anymore

-> no yaboot support anymore
- support UEFI boot with cobbler generated tftp tree (boo#1020376)
-> upstream

start to work as expected

mkgrub.x86_64-efi mkgrub.arm64-efi and generate grub executables with
them in the %post section
- build server wants explicite package in BuildRequires; use tftp
- require tftp(server) instead of atftp
- cleanup: cobbler is noarch, so arch specific requires do not make sense

one for checking also
