Another update:

Fortunately there is already support in the linux kernel for passing on the
needed information about the bios disk ordering. The option is called CONFIG_EDD
and disabled by default in ubuntu because of
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8899.

Some information about the support can be found here: http://lwn.net/Articles/12334/

This looks like the right solution for the problem of creating a correct grub
device map.
