Hi,

The problem with elf64 in our multiboot loader is that it duplicates a lot
of code from elf32 and this eventually leads to bitrot.

In fact, grub_multiboot_load_elf32 and grub_multiboot_load_elf64 are supposed
to be almost identical, and only differ in s/32/64/ references.

It'd be fairly simple to resincronize them, but I'd really like to find a
way to prevent this from happening again.

Does someone have any idea on what would be a good approach?
