In grub command line, you can edit the configre (even mistaken), so
maybe it will not be worth to add an edit in grub.
I do not mean the configure of Grub menu list, but the config files of the OS, like boot.ini of Windows and inittab of Linux.
An option to set the start address for grub to load multiboot module is
great. This option will make kernel guys (who use multiboot modules) to
initiate the kernel more easy. I remember a branch of grub for L4 kernel
supports this option, maybe it can be a reference if you are interested
in.
I know this approach, however, instead of an option, they add a new command modaddr. A limitation is that all modules after the "modaddr value" will be loaded in succession to a overriding address below address
value.
Best regards.
