Hopefully your student will send in patches to grub-devel. Although I
will not have a lot of time next few months, I will make sure I will
review these patches and answer questions from both students. Or do
you want to wait with this until the project is finished? Whatever
you prefer to do, I think it is wise that we cooperate closely to make
sure both SoC projects succeed (as in: code applied to CVS at the
end).
