If this option is enabled, then do all of the following:
Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're
actually offering a shell prompt. (This is believed to be a workaround
for a different bug. We'll go with this for now, but will drop this in
favour of a better fix upstream if somebody figures out what that is.)
Don't clear the screen just before booting if we never drew the menu in
the first place.
Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration. In some
ways this is awkward because it makes debugging harder, but it's a
requirement for a smooth-looking boot process; we may be able to do
better in future. Upstream doesn't want this, though.
Disable the cursor as well, for similar reasons of tidiness.
Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode.
Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down. Upstream
doesn't want this, as it makes debugging harder. Ubuntu wants it to
provide a cleaner boot experience.

Recent versions of binutils dropped support for the a.out and COFF
formats on sparc64 targets. Since the boot loader on sparc64 is
supposed to be an a.out binary and the a.out header entries are
rather simple to calculate in our case, we just write the header
ourselves instead of relying on external tools to do that.

The ihandle is left open with a cd-core image. This will cause a delay
booting grub from a virtual cdrom in a LDOM. It will also cause problems
as Linux boots, since it expects the ihandle to be closed during init.

mips_attributes was introduced to work around clang problems with
-msoft-float. Those problems are now fixed and moreover .gnu_attributes
itself is unportable and creates problem with clang.
Revert "mips: Fix soft-float handling."
This partially reverts commit 6a4ecd276e.
libgcc for boot environment isn't always present and compatible.
libgcc is often absent if endianness or bit-size at boot is different
from running OS.
libgcc may use optimised opcodes that aren't available on boot time.
So instead of relying on libgcc shipped with the compiler, supply
the functions in GRUB directly.
Tests are present to ensure that those replacement functions behave the
way compiler expects them to.
Add -msoft-float alongside clang arguments to specify ABI.
Specify ABI in asm files explicitly.
This trigers asm warning due to gcc failing to propagate -msoft-float
but it's tolerable.
