There have been attempts to convince me to add calls to xfs_freeze
around the use of grub.  This then makes sure that the bits are written
to the disk and that the kernel isn't moving things around.

This still strikes me as a bit of a hack, though, so I've been a bit
reluctant to actually go down this path.
