IMO linux16 for pc/linux.c would better reflect the difference with normal 'linux' command.

This new patch avoids the problem by accessing struct grub_video_render_target

When we have more than one video backend, and a clear idea on which parts are
generic and which are backend-specific, we could readjust.  For now this makes
VBE happy.

Thoughts?

Ok, committed.

Btw, I'm happy to announce that the new Linux loader is fully usable on i386-pc
now, with no significant regressions.

I'd like to find a way to make it available to end users.  How would you think
of a rename?

  - loader/i386/pc/linux.c becomes the "legacy_linux" command or so.

  - loader/i386/linux.c becomes "linux" command.
