How about having a custom e_type for ELF images booted by GRUB? Something in
Guys at Xen solved it nicely with custom ELF section. Somewhere in
your OS code you create a section with specific name, bootloader will
be looking for. For multiboot it might look like:
.section __multiboot_v2
.long MAGIC_THIS
.long FLAGS_THAT
Header position is exactly defined in ELF which Grub already speaks.
It does not need to be in first 8kB. The downside is that it will make
multiboot ELF-only.
Oh. Did I mention that you can have more than one header in a single image ?
(for non-compatible multiboot versions ;)
