This is wrong. I guess you just followed the powerpc port, but it is also 
wrong. Instead, this file must be put in the kernel. The directory boot is 
used to organize files for the bootstrap of the kernel, which are not a part 
of the kernel.

In principle, the kernel should not be linked with a file in another 
directory. Unfortunately, this is not always true, in order to solve "chicken 
and egg" problems. Nevertheless, we should try to make the kernel as much 
independent of other directories as possible.

The contents of this file is strange. Why don't you simply include 
grub/cache.h?

About the ChangeLog:

Please do not mention new directories. They are not worth describing, because 
they don't cause bugs, and they are not related to copyright problems.

Please use simply "Likewise" when you repeat the same description. This is not 
obligatory, but often easier to read.
