I wouldn't even try.  This looks to be an issue with the assembly 
language either embedded in the disk_io.c file at line 151 or the 
assembly spit out by the C compiler at that point (probably embedded
assembly).  I don't know enough about assembly language on 64-bit
machines to comment.

This is not an issue you have with Red Hat, it's an issue with trusted
grub--specifically on 64-bit machines.  You should contact the trusted
grub developers and see if they have a fix.
