For now, the easiest way is to use the hard drive emulation mode. This should
work transparently. But I don't know how many BIOSes correctly implement the
emulation.
If you really want to use the no emulation mode, it would be the easiest to
port the feature from GRUB Legacy, as you guess.
FYI, a student might work on this issue in the Summer of Code.
