Is it 99, or 100% ?  I think the only case we have left is when user does:

  grub-install "(hd0)"

instead of:

  grub-install /dev/sda

and IMHO we should deprecate this syntax so users will stop assuming GRUB
will guess "(hd0)" as the first BIOS drive.

However, I think disk/host.c still needs device.map only to know which
devices have to be registered.
