Accessor functions are usually useless in GRUB. We have no public API to
respect. So it only adds clutter. Also "loaded" flag is static for а
good reason: it's specific to linux.c. I'm going to move fdt part to
fdt.c and have uniform interface for both linux and xen.

EXPORT_* are necessary only for core. Not for modules.
