multiboot2 isn't. But what you implement here is not multiboot. It's
xen-specific protocol. So it should be called xen_hypervisor and
xen_module. It's ok to add xen_hypervisor as an alias to multiboot on x86

Not a reason. You can move the code you reuse to separate module.

Can we have separate xen_* commands for different types? It's ok for
them to call similar code paths under the hood

Could this thing be renamed to "xen ARM boot protocol"?

Unnecessarry complexity just to have less commands. We've been down this
path with grub1, it's not good.

What kind of errors do you expect here? I don't see grub_snprintf
erroring here at all under any circumstances.

Please make errors more descriptive. You have same error message for at
least 5 different problems.
Is this error likely to happen to a normal user? If not, let's not load
translators with obscure technical strings. If it is likely it must way
more clearer and have TRANSLATORS comment on context.

Could you please encapsulate find/add/setprop to a separate function?

Style here and in many other places: no parens for return.

Please don't override grub_errno if it's already set. See other loader
for example.

Again, please don't call it multiboot
