We could move it up and that would solve it for people not using
encrypted /boot I believe.  However, for people using encrypted /boot,
the keymap would never be loaded instead of loaded after unlocking the
volume.  The solution for that is to embed the keymap in the GRUB image,
so that it can always be found.

I believe we don't use grub-mkimage directly for the efi case for now,
which is the command we want to use to be able to include arbitrary
files in the image, hence my comment about the code needing some
refactoring.

Best,
