Hi guys,

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    16 Jan 26 10:49 /usr/sbin/ofpathname ->

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40016 Feb 10  2019 /usr/sbin/ofpathname-ibm

No idea why that happened, unless I did some weird things trying to
get 'grub' to work, and then promptly forgot about it...

I assume this was changed so whenever the GRUB configuration gets
changed or updated (e.g. during package updates) GRUB uses a **working**
device-to-OF-path-translator, because otherwise the next boot will fail,
as the original `ofpathname` returns non-working OF paths.

Cheers,
Frank
