Here's a new patch, with some cleanup. The main difference is that memdisk.c
doesn't include any arch-specific code.
I've spotted a memory management problem. The memdisk image, at the location
that it's usually uncompressed, tends to collide with the payload loading
region (grub_os_area_{addr,size}).
I'm not sure what would be a good solution to this. Perhaps we could copy it
to dynamic memory in grub_memdisk_init() ? However, if user plays with payload
images without booting them, and then loads memdisk.mod manually, things could
break.
Although, embedding a memdisk image without embedding memdisk.mod is kind of
silly; perhaps grub-mkimage shouldn't allow it.
What do you think?
