Have you ever tried uefi booting? Or tried to find out why there are
two grub2-efi packages in extra repo. I think
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Detecting_UEFI_Firmware_Arch
should answer your question (or
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/grub2-efi-x86_64/trunk/PKGBUILD).

That x86_64 denoted UEFI ARCH which is independent of Kernel ARCH.
Same reason for grub-legacy-efi-fedora.

If you wanted clarification you could have asked instead of waiting
for me to bump this. I can't read your mind to understand why this was
IGNORED. Asking for clarification is ok but ignoring the mail totally
is not. It shouldn't take you 3 days + bump to reply to my mail.
That's a basic courtesy any one would expect. Some reply to the mail
should have been given, especially when you guys have replied to other
such removal requests.

Regards.
