Hi Saul,

These can be done to define empty task for native or target, but there 
is another reason that I can't make them into one bb:
For grub-efi-native, we need to determine the target arch and the target 
STAGING_LIBDIR (used for do_mkimage to generate the target EFI binary) 
before inherit native class, if we make them into one bb and use 
BBCLASSEXTEND, we don't have a chance to do that, right?

So I will keep them in 3 files, does it make sense to you?

If so, I will change the following patch to a standalone commit and re-send.

Thanks,
Jackie
