What about this:
	* commands/i386/pc/drivemap.c : New file, main part of the new
	drivemap module allowing BIOS drive remapping not unlike the
	legacy "map" command. This allows to boot OSes with boot-time
	dependencies on the particular ordering of BIOS drives or
	trusting their own to be 0x80, like Windows XP, with
	non-standard boot configurations.
	* commands/i386/pc/drivemap_int13h.S : New file, INT 13h handler
	for the drivemap module. Installed as a TSR routine by
	drivemap.c, performs the actual redirection of BIOS drives.
	* conf/i386-pc.rmk : Added the new module
	* include/grub/loader.h : Added a "just-before-boot" callback
	infrastructure used by drivemap.mod to install the INT13 handler
	only when the "boot" command has been issued.
	* kern/loader.c : Implement the preboot-hook described

By the way, I sent the data to the "assign" mail as you instructed me
to, and I've been told I'll receive some GNU copyright assignment
documents to sign-and-return in a few days.
