Why would the FSF need the copyright for that piece of code? It being
GPL would be enough to make it usable in a new GPL project like grub2 is.

The hardware/VESA specific code should go below i386/pc. Any code that
can generically be reused for other machines should be placed in a
generic location. Changing this later will pretty much end up in a mess.
The file hierarchy should be an illustration of the logical program
structure. Moving the structure of the code around will end up in a
similar mess as grub 0.x
