GNU GRUB && Reiser4

[Yury Umanets]

Hello GRUB folks,

I'm working on reiser4 support in GRUB. It is done by means of using our 
libreiser4 built in "alone" mode, that is without libc, gcc builtins and 
without not needed features like creating files or filesystem at all.

As GRUB does not have any memory management, we have been implermented 
simple memory manager which operates on FSYS_BUF of 32k size. GRUB uses 
it for filesystem related purposes instead of dynamic allocation. But 
the problem is that this buffer is used by all filesystems GRUB supports 
them for their own needs and gets corrupted durring attempt_mount() and 
probably yet another code pathes.

Possible solutions are:

(1) Make all filesystems GRUB have to be used dynamic allocation.
(2) Allocate stand alone buffer for reiser4 purposes.
(3) ???

If you are intersed I will send you a patch against grub-0.93 and last 
libreiser4.
