Check multiboot2 branch in GRUB tree and this thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2016-06/msg00004.html

I am going to release v2 of updated spec, later (probably after 2.02
release) merge doc branch with master and publish official multiboot2
spec in more convinet place.

I hope that helps.
