Attached is an updated version of the patch to add boot loader support

In relation to this, did anyone consider porting Grub to run inside a domU?
While it seems appealing, a large amount of the grub code is device
drivers, real mode boot strapping code, etc.
The interesting things you would get from Grub would be the
filesystem-decoding stuff, the elf decoder, the two-stage loader, and
the nice and well-tested config-file parsing, in a format that lots of
users already understand. Tftp and bootp/dhcp support could also be nice
in some scenarios.
And by having the bootloader in the domU you would get stronger security
as well.
