Quoting Robert Millan <address@hidden>:

Now that I think of it, is there any reason for doing all the cmain()
cruft before grub_main() ?  Getting to grub_main() only requires a working
stack, which we have, and grub_main() inmediately returns control back to
architecture-specific code in grub_machine_init().

So why not move from:

  _start -> cmain -> grub_main

to:

  _start -> grub_main -> grub_machine_init -> cmain

?

I think it would be great. We should try to make the code for different architectures more uniform to simplify maintenance.
