See my comments in the change request:

This "drop device path end" was used to find the parent of the partition
device (that is, the whole disk we are booting from). Removing this means
we are now always referring to the partition, which may work in some EFI
implementations, but not all. So, we should either:
- Restore the code to find the disk from the partition, but in a way that
doesn't crash qemu, or,
- Try to use the partition, and if that doesn't work, restore the code to
attempt to boot from the disk
