More detailed description:

grub01.diff (for 00_header) tells GRUB to use the native console if  
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT is either not set or set to "console".

grub03.diff (for 10_linux) makes GRUB and Linux console modes independent  
 from each other (making it possible to boot Linux with graphical console  
even if GRUB uses text mode or different video mode) and removed Linux  
kernel version if only 1 kernel is installed.

grub04.diff (for /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig) adds the changes mentioned above  
to the GRUB configuration utility.
