What places them there? The spec doesn't say anything about placement of
this file. Since this is a new feature, I don't think there's any
de-facto standard, is there? I'd prefer that the files be placed in the
same location as any other boot file, to avoid pointless extra directory
levels (i.e. / for a partition that's mounted as /boot, or in /boot for
a partition that's mounted as /).
