The chain.mod (normal mode chainloader) contains only the code for
parsing arguments (static chainloader_command()).
This function calls symbol (grub_chainloader_cmd() that is in _chain.mod
(rescue mode chainloader), which does all the work.
In _chain.mod the function that impements rescue command chainloader
(grub_rescue_cmd_chainloader()) was splitted to function that does
argument paring, and the already mentioned function
(grub_chainloader_cmd()) that does the work.

_chain.mod is chainloader.c
chain.mod is chainloader_normal.c (and it containts omly argument
parsing)
