Yes. The picture should be selectable via Kconfig.
For the architecture, I think it should be possible to just add a
picture to the lar.

For the Kernel bootsplash, a guy at SUSE wrote a jpeg decoder in
roughly 8k. That plus a jpeg will be smaller than a lzmaed raw image

If it's a seperate stage, grub2 (linuxbios version) might want to know
how to switch it off anyways. But making it a seperate stage would for

graphics stuff "in their stage" :-)
