OK, probably it should be done separately. Sorry, my fault. However, if you do not run GRUB on x86-64 EFI platform how do you want to load the image above 4 GiB? The Multiboot2 spec clearly states the machine has to be in 32-bit mode during transition from the bootloader to the kernel. I think it would be very helpful if you describe your use case in details.
