If prefix is not set, the module is not loaded.  What other handling
do we need?

What I mean is, is the error message printed?  I recall it had to be handled
somewhere.  Or maybe I'm confused...

It's printed.  Tested with grub-emu and in qemu.

I found that prefix would not be set on PowerPC if /memory/available
is missing.

Sounds strange.. how is that so?

Because the environment is allocated in the heap, I believe.

Even though I have a better workaround for it now, I
still think that aborting for such minor reason is wrong.  After all,
the user may unset prefix.

Agreed..

Applying.
