We should make a list with the bootloaders in use. Many architectures use
GRUB but some architectures use boot loaders that use blocklists so they
still may work with ext4.
Architectures that use GRUB are:
- amd64
- arm64
- i386
- ia64
- powerpc
- ppc64
- ppc64el
- riscv64 (not sure if supported on all boards)
- sparc64
- s390x (loaded from zIPL)
- x32
Other bootloaders are:
- armel - u-boot
- armhf - u-boot
- alpha - aboot
- hppa - palo
- m68k - amiboot, atariboot, emile
- mipsel - u-boot
- mips64el - u-boot
- riscv64 - u-boot
- sh4 - u-boot
