I was thinking about code size then about performance or easy of
understanding. On my system this code results in 91 addition bytes in
core image (63 if I remove grub_error). Do you have any idea how it
would be possible to do an error message without description or put some
generic description?

I noticed that actually no code needs the size of grub_preoot_hnd. So I
changed it to void *
