But surely there would be some advantage of reuse by using the multi-boot protocol since Xen, grub, and OS tools already support it for x86.
Yes, but that is x86 only and multiboot is it's nature quite architecture specific. The current(?) multiboot v2 spec has no official ARM support (only x86 and MIPS), so this would need to be "invented" first. While this is technically easy, ARM software currently has no support for multiboot at all: not in u-boot and not in Xen. Multiboot support in Xen lives entirely in the x86 directory, and big parts of it are even in assembly.
If so, I cannot find the assembly and most of it seems to be moved out of x86 code now.
