The Multiboot code is essentially unmaintained. It's technically part of
the PC/x86 subsystem, but their maintainers don't seem to care at all.
So in order to make any progress here, I decided that I will send a
pull request for Multiboot once we have the patches ready (as a one-time
thing, without officially making myself the maintainer).
So I am the closest thing to a maintainer that we have here, and while
I'm familiar with some of the Multiboot-specific code, I don't really
know the ELF code and don't have a lot of time to spend here.
Therefore it's very welcome if you review the patches of each other,
even if you're not perfectly familiar with the code, as there is
probably noone else who could do a better review.

As far as I am concerned, I honestly don't mind either way. It's
trivial code, so we won't lose anything by removing it.
The ideal solution would be just implementing support for it, of course.
If we wanted to do that, I think we would have to pass the values
through fw_cfg and then set the VBE mode in the Mutiboot option rom.

Good point, but do we even have multiple header files for Multiboot to
justify a whole subdirectory?
There is include/hw/loader.h and include/elf.h, so I would suggest that
we add the new header as either include/hw/multiboot.h or directly
include/multiboot.h.
