Slightly revised patch, tested. Please review and consider applying upstream.

0001-add-EFI-directory-preparation.patch
Another update to the same patch. If the Live ISO doesn't have an EFI directory, there's nothing to do. And don't munge the boot{x64,ia32}.conf files for architectures that aren't present.
Thank you for the patch, Matt. I just tried testing this with F12-Snap3-x86_64-Live on my Intel-based iMac. I was able to get to the grub screen, but when attempting to boot a kernel, the grub background just stays on the screen for about 25 seconds, then a green bar appears at the top of the screen, and my USB sticks stops blinking. I suppose this problem has nothing to do with the patch, as I have been unable to get this iMac to boot even using the efiboot.img or livecd-iso-to-disk --mactel. Luke, that probably means efifb in the kernel doesn't understand your screen properly, or some other kernel failure is occurring. That should probably be opened as another bug.
