This is GRUB code reading menu.lst one byte at a time because it is looking for a newline.
There's a simple but good enough sector cache in read_sector() that gets used here so this is not a problem.
Can we enhance this and use it for loading the kernel too ("readahead") so we don't have to patch all filesystems?
