There is some information in the wiki: 
http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnX86 . If you have more specific 
questions, please ask on the list and then update the wiki with the 
answers. :)

> - ways to debug my code

grub_printf, pretty much exclusively. Also, please consider using 
grub_dprintf for generally useful debug messages. Consider when 
somebody runs your code on different hardware and it doesn't work: you 
can then "set debug=usb" and the debug messages you've left in will be 
displayed.

I've been thinking about a memory dumping and editing command, but 
haven't needed it enough to implement it so far.

If you have other suggestions, feel free to make them here...

There is a top-level "video" directory, so I guess you could make a new 
directory like "usb". Or we may want to move things into a "drivers" 
directory, but that should be a small matter compared to getting the 
code working. :)
