For the record (Jonathan already knows), I made this patch, which is supposed
to implement it using code from GRUB Legacy.

It needs some cleanup, but since I have no readily available testcase (NetBSD's
kernel seems to have some trouble involving MBI corruption), I can't finish it
yet.

I'm sending it here for reference.
