That would be SYSLINUX hackery, not GRUB hackery.  The CD and DVD images
use ISOLINUX to boot.  SYSLINUX has a module interface; I don't know if
it could handle a quick check for the "lm" CPU capability and choose a
different menu file or not.

This obviously doesn't address CD space or other issues; just pointing
out the boot loader piece could be relatively easy.
