This looks fine.  Please go ahead with the proposed new layout.

As for the addition of new fields for architecture / endianess, I wonder
if it makes sense to continue supporting aout-kludge in Multiboot 2.  It
seems that all of the projects interested in Multiboot use ELF natively
themselves and shouldn't have trouble with it, whereas projects that don't
use ELF are almost invariably proprietary OS and never showed any interest
in Multiboot.
