That's fine and will let us delete a small amount of code from both
the kernel startup sequence and the tools used to build kernel.

Just to be clear. For grub2 on x86, will it be true that there is only
a single grub2 binary that understands both elf32 and elf64?
Would the different tags i86-pc vs x86_64 (if any) be determined by
knowing if which type elf gets loaded?
