Thank you for your work. At first sight it looks quite nice but I am not able
to do tests right now. I am going to continue my work on GRUB2/EFI stuff for
Xen at the beginning of next year.

Can you confirm that that's what you want? I'd like it to make into 2.02
release but it would be useless if it's not what you want.

Just one nitpick. FinishBootServices() should be replaced by ExitBootServices()
in doc/multiboot.texi file.

Yes, it is what I want but I think that it will be nice to test this new feature.
However, I am busy right now and I am not able to do that. When are you
going to make 2.02 release?
