Hi,

As long as boot/i386/pc/boot.S has the variables whose offset these macros
are describing, I think it's fine to keep them.

Btw, please include a non-HTML version in your emails :-)

 still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."

Hi

boot/i386/pc/boot.S DON'T use this macros.

They're only defined in i386/boot.h but they are not used anywhere. The new name of this constants are GRUB_BOOT_MACHINE_KERNEL_ADDR and GRUB_BOOT_MACHINE_KERNEL_SEG. So the GRUB_BOOT_MACHINE_KERNEL_ADDRESS and GRUB_BOOT_MACHINE_KERNEL_SEGMENT (see the difference with the constants below) constants can be definitively removed, and it's better to remove them to avoid confusion.
