As far as I understand code, if GRUB wants to have cs5536 and does not 
find it it stops. If you enter GRUB it means it skipped cs5536 
initialization. According to code, it can happen only if 
grub_arch_memsize != 0. I do not see where GRUB itself sets it before 
this check. So my only guess that PMON (whatever it is) fills in this 
field in GRUB header. We could add debug print to verify this.

This is correct; it is the PCI ID that GRUB expects.
