I have appended a patch that adds a new "modaddr" builtin command to
GRUB. This command specifies the load address for Multiboot modules.
It can only be used after a Multiboot kernel has been loaded.
We found we needed a command like this because sometimes the memory
locations of modules conflicted with the load addresses of the
binaries contained therein, and it is much easier to just load the
modules to a different location than to add code to the system
bootstrapper that shuffles modules around in memory after they have
been loaded.
This patch has originally been developed by Uwe Dannowski, a former
member of our OS group at Dresden.
