On x86 we can use multiboot (on in exceptional case chainload boot block).
On EFI we can use chainloader to launch EFI binary.
What can we do on PowerPC? SPARC? ARM? MIPS?
I think we really need some generic platform-independent interface to
load another grub binary.

Currently we have:
pc: multiboot
*-efi: chainloader
i386-multiboot: multiboot
*-coreboot: chainloader
*-xen: linux
mips-loongson: linux
arm-uboot: linux
Nothing:
*-ieee1275
mips(el)-arc
Nothing, flash-only targets:
i386-qemu
mips-qemu_mips
