• Brief description of the changes in this pull request:
  Problem description: grub2-install failed on PowerNV (BareMetal System).
  grub2-install for power (ppc64le) always try to update firmware boot order during grub2-install by using ofpathname command. Unfortunatly, this ofpathname command is not supported on BareMetal system (PowerNV). (https://www.suse.com/fr-fr/support/update/announcement/2017/suse-ru-20170617-1/).
  Using --no-nvram grub2-install option is a workaround for PowerNV system.

@jsmeix , @gdha I just asking for a quick review before merging. It is a pure POWER change and I know you don"t have such kind of system to validate. But you always have good feedback ;)
