This is because nobody implemented grub_in* and grub_out* functions on
powerpc. But in the meantime, they could move to i386.rmk.
As for memdisk, it used to depend on the image format (thus PE had to be
excluded), but IIRC this is not so anymore. It could move to common.rmk.

This is trickier than it seems. Many of the gen* scripts parse those files
and changing them this way would break stuff. It needs to be done carefully.
