grub2-xcat is a newly added dependency package to enable the provision of rhels7 node on the MN without grub2 shipped.

the grub2-xcat package includes the grub2 modules and grub2 binary generated by "grub2-mknetdir" command. Since it includes some *.modules shipped in "grub2" in rhels7.0 iso and the "grub2-mknetdir" command is shipped in "grub2-tools" in rhels7.0 iso, there might be some legal issues for xcat to ship grub2-xcat as a dependency.
