Date: Wed Mar 6 08:14:28 2019 +0100 By default all file system modules are added to the GRUB coreboot payload `default_payload.elf`. This makes the image quite big, especially as often not all modules are needed.
Introduce the variable `FS_PAYLOAD_MODULES`, which can be used to
explicitly set file systems modules to be added.
$ make default_payload.elf
test -f default_payload.elf && rm default_payload.elf || true
pkgdatadir=. ./grub-mkstandalone --grub-mkimage=./grub-mkimage -O
i386-coreboot -o default_payload.elf --modules='ahci pata ehci uhci ohci

So, the resulting payload size is around 370 kB smaller. (Adding it to
the CBFS, it will be compressed, so the effective size difference will
be smaller.)
