I have no objections about the patch except that it breaks compilation
for i386-coreboot:

kernel_img-symlist.o:(.data+0x3b4): undefined reference to `grub_reboot'

Perhaps kern/i386/reboot.c should be kept, but the code should only be
enabled for coreboot.

By the way, GRUB_MACHINE_LINUXBIOS should be renamed to
GRUB_MACHINE_COREBOOT.  Its use in loader/multiboot_loader.c is dubious.
