There's just the shell function in grub-mkconfig_lib.in
Here's now a patch wich implements it in util/hostdisk.c and gets used
for core_path_dev in setup ().
But it doestn't work with symlinks.
readlink () can only be used if the file pointed to is a symlink, not if
a symlink is somewhere in between.
coreutils where the readlink binary is from is GPL 3+ but the function
for it uses hash tables and it seems like it would be too much code to
copy just for this.
