* TODO: Add note about endianness in grub-mkimage.
	* boot/powerpc/ieee1275/crt0.S (note): Remove unused .note
	section.
	* conf/powerpc-ieee1275.rmk (bin_UTILITIES): Add grub-mkimage.
	(grub_mkimage_SOURCES): New target.
	* include/grub/kernel.h (grub_start_addr): Remove variable.
	(grub_end_addr): Likewise.
	(grub_total_module_size): Likewise.
	(grub_kernel_image_size): Likewise.
	(GRUB_MODULE_MAGIC): New constant.
	(grub_module_info): New structure.
	(grub_arch_modules_addr): New prototype.
	(grub_get_end_addr): Remove prototype.
	* include/grub/i386/pc/kernel.h (grub_end_addr): New prototype.
	* include/grub/powerpc/ieee1275/kernel.h: New file.
	* include/grub/util/misc.h (grub_util_get_fp_size): New
	prototype.
	(grub_util_read_at): Likewise.
	(grub_util_write_image_at): Likewise.
	* kern/main.c (grub_get_end_addr): Remove function.
	(grub_load_modules): Call grub_arch_modules_addr instead of using
	grub_end_addr.  Look for a grub_module_info struct in memory.  Use
	the grub_module_info fields instead of calling grub_get_end_addr
	as loop conditions.  Move grub_add_unused_region code here.
	(grub_add_unused_region): Remove function.
	* kern/i386/pc/init.c: Include grub/cache.h.
	(grub_machine_init): Remove call to grub_get_end_addr.  Remove
	one call to add_mem_region.
	(grub_arch_modules_addr): New function.
	* kern/powerpc/ieee1275/init.c (grub_end_addr): Remove variable.
	(grub_total_module_size): Likewise.
	Include grub/machine/kernel.h.
	(grub_arch_modules_addr): New function.
	* util/grub-emu.c (grub_end_addr): Remove variable.
	(grub_total_module_size): Likewise.
	(grub_arch_modules_addr): New function.
	* util/misc.c: Include unistd.h.
	(grub_util_get_fp_size): New function.
	(grub_util_read_at): Likewise.
	(grub_util_write_image_at): Likewise.
	(grub_util_read_image): Call grub_util_read_at.
	(grub_util_write_image): Call grub_util_write_image_at.
	* util/i386/pc/grub-mkimage.c (generate_image): Allocate
	additional memory in kernel_img for a struct grub_module_info.
	Fill in that grub_module_info.
	* util/powerpc/ieee1275/grub-mkimage.c: New file.

Before working on anything in this file, it's very important that you
make contact with the core GRUB developers. Things herein might be
slightly out of date or otherwise not easy to understand at first
glance. So write to <grub-devel@gnu.org> first.
Priorities:
Reported bugs generally have top priority.
Non-reported and non-encountered bugs (things we know don't work,
but don't really impede things) have lower priority.
Things in this file are ranked with one to three !; the more, the
higher priority.
* Add more filesystems (such as jfs, xfs and reiserfs). !
* Add journal playback support to ext2fs (so it will become ext3fs).
* Add support for internationalization. !!!
* Add more loaders (such as NetBSD and FreeBSD). !!
* Implement a more friendly installer.
* Add more terminals (such as serial). !
* Implement a normal mode. !!!
* Write a manual.
* Add support for compressed files.
* Add support for network devices.
* Fix the graphics mode completely and improve it to support VESA
as well as VGA modes. !
* Add a fancy menu interface which utilizes the graphics mode
extensively with many eye-candies. This is important to beat
GRUB legacy. :)
* Audit util/powerpc/ieee1275/grub-mkimage.c for endianness fixes.
