Please don't include same file twice in different modules it creates a
symbol conflict. It's ok to have btrfs depend on lzopio if necessary, at
least for now.
+#include "minilzo.h"
I'd prefer <minilzo.h> and an explicit -I on cppflags if necessary.

this is a stylistic regression. (several such occurences)

Likewise.

This isn't necessarily well-aligned. Use grub_uint64_t
context[(lzopio->ccheck_fun->contextsize + 7) / 8];
(several occurences)
+  file->size = GRUB_FILE_SIZE_UNKNOWN;
Several components have trouble with such files. Is there any way to
retrieve the size of lzio compressed file?

That because dependencies on hashes are soft so it's not correctly
tracked by grub-install and so you end up in an infinite recursion.
