grubby on PPC64 does not currently support the --bootloader-probe action.

Some of the --bootloader-probe implementations on grubby just check the presence of configuration files, while others go to great lengths, doing things such as checking the content on the MBR.

An RFC has been sent upstream anaconda-devel[1] in hope of receiving comments on which kind of detections is considered good enough for grubby on PPC64. A plan on how to do a full check is present on the comment section of the patch.
