I do not know whether it is possible to add one element in structure
grub_elf_file structure to identify ELF type (ELFCLASS32/ELFCLASS64)
and ELF machine type, this element can be set at function grub_elf_open.
Thanks

This patch converts the PowerPC Linux loader to use the ELF
infrastructure in the last patch, which gives us 64-bit ELF support. You
can see examples of how I'm using the ELF "iterate" and "load"
functions.

This patch adds generic ELF loading infrastructure for both 32-bit and
64-bit ELF. It provides an "iterate" function for program headers, and a
"load" function for convenience.
I have converted the PowerPC Linux loader to use this infrastructure
(see next mail), and possibly the i386 multiboot loa

I just stalk this mailing list, but I think it'd be great to turn the Multiboot specification less PC BIOS-centric. The Multiboot spec exposes various legacy structures for the x86 PC. How do you intend to work in platform specifics? Just expose the OF interface, or clone the device tree? What abou

I do not think it works.
