#78: Implement larfs to handle GRUB2 modules in flash easily.

Priority: major | Milestone: Port GRUB2 to LinuxBIOS
Component: code | Version: v3
Keywords: | Dependencies:
Patchstatus: there is no patch |
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
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)
