 Implement a (simple) larfs driver in grub. Besides making it
 easy to solve the module loading itself, it would also help us

 - with copyright issues: if we port over the usb stack from FILO, it
   would not have to be part of the grub2 tree with all the efforts of
   getting it in there

 - with using grub2 as a 1st stage bootloader to load other payloads
   directly from flash, ie payloads that are in multiboot format rather
   than pure ELF. (I have XEN in mind)
