Looks like kernel 2.6 generates a kernel that can be loaded by GRUB by
just adding the multiboot signature...However, it does'nt quite work!
... Has anyone tried it? Just want to do away with the overhead of
bzImage etc!!

You might be interested in Gujin.

bzImage has some real mode code that gets information from the BIOS
and passes it to the vmlinux (see Documentation/i386/zero-page.txt)
grub would need to pass this information first before it could execute
vmlinux directly.
There are also some more complications on x86-64: vmlinux currently
assumes it starts in 32bit protected mode, not 64bit.
