As Ted Lemon suggested, a vendor excapsulated option is a clean solution. And, 
we should use a vendor class identifier to request such an option. This would 
be safer especially when PXE is used. Since GRUB 2 has no compatibility 
issue, GRUB 2 may not need to use 150 at all.

But I don't decide how to do for GRUB Legacy yet. I might want to insist on 
keeping the usage of 150, simply because I am not willing to work on GRUB 
Legacy.
