IMO, Bidi algorithm implementation is not required here because we have no need to read Hebrew/Arabic user input in the boot loader. We just have to display the text in a readable manner. For this, all we have to do is reverse the text according to the bidi algorithm and display it visually. This can be achieved using fribidi tool (found in libfribidi0) at package building time and it requires no code changes or further hacking.
