  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=124246                                       
  It used to work, then it got broke.  To spare you from reading all the comments
in bug, the solution was to remove (from Anaconda) the ability to configure
this specific btrfs layout.  This solved release criteria compliance, but
left all previously installed systems with the pants down.

  I've been using grub2-mkconfig after every kernel upgrade succesfully on
those systems, since then.  On current, UEFI systems I'm using systemd-boot.
