Whether we consider to rewrite it in python language and add it as a function
into utils module instead of a shell script, in addition, I don't like 'if..else' in shell,
if we will support other bootloader in the future, we must add a new 'else' branch
in ksiso.sh, it hasn't a better expansibility. I'd like to use python 'getattr' as a dispatcher
to deal with this kind of case. if we need to add a new bootloader support, just need
to add a new function/interface, you don't need to change original codes.

     Currently, the script is fine to work and easy to maintain.
     Python wrap will make it complex.
     let's just keep it for a while.
