Hi Leif,
Great thanks for your review! I have made some improvements(which marked DONE below), following your suggestion.
But I still have some question or explanation, please the feedback inline below.

arm64: Add multiboot support file grub-core/loader/arm64/multiboot.c include/grub/arm64/multiboot.h
Add commands register code and hearder file into grub-core/loader/arm64/linux.c
This multiboot support is built into linux module for aarch64.
The implementation for Xen is following <Multiboot on ARM Specification>: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Multiboot and xen/docs/misc/arm/device-tree/booting.txt in Xen source code.
This adds support for the Xen Multiboot on ARM specification for arm64, enabling config file portability across the architectures.
The multiboot command is currently x86-only, so reusing these command names should not conflict with any future additions of ARM support to multiboot2.
The reason of adding this functionality to the existing "linux" module rather than "multiboot(2)" (1)multiboot is x86 only (2)Multiboot is added to "linux" module because it reuses existing code.

This global "module_type" and the operations on it really confuse me when reading the code below. Can the global variable be removed?
Yes, you are right, I can move it into set_module_type as a static variable. DONE

What is compatible_counter used for? Its meaning is not clear to me.
if the compatible is custom, this variable is used to log the number of the string.
--type "multiboot,ramdisk" --type "multiboot,module"
so ,compatible_counter == 2
Ok. I think the code would actually be more readable if this was called "num_types" or "num_options" or something similar.
Ah, thank you, I like num_types :-)
DONE
- char **compatible_temp_array =

What is compatible_temp_array used for? Its meaning is not clear to me.
if the compatible is custom, this variable is used to log the strings pointers.
if --type "multiboot,ramdisk" --type "multiboot,module"
compatible_temp_array[0] = "multiboot,ramdisk" compatible_temp_array[1] = "multiboot,module"
But we still free it at the end of this function. Could we instead just save pointers here?
yes, I also want to make a auto variable here, but we don't know the size of the array(and the size of compatible_custom). That is decided by the number of options(and the size of each --type options). so that is why I do "grub_zalloc (sizeof (char *) * (*argc))" , the number of options must be less than argc.
I used a MAX define for the compatible_custom, but there is not that limit in ePAPR. so I am using dynamic way.

While logically correct, this is very difficult to read code. What is the special case we are checking for here?.
if (module_type > MODULE_OTHER)
- module_type = MODULE_OTHER;
Indentation looks a bit funky.
If the module_type has been corrupted, should we not abort with an error rather than try to fix up its type field?
can we do this :
if (node_info->type != MODULE_CUSTOM) { node_info->type = module_type++;
The statement module_type++ is still very confusing. If we do explicit assigments of types instead of shifting to adjacent types, the code will be understandable by someone who does not know the protocol by heart.
if (module_type = (MODULE_OTHER +1))
module_type = MODULE_OTHER; if (module_type > (MODULE_OTHER +1)) REEOE!!
Why are we performing arithmetic on a type?
OK . let me try switch-case this time. :-)
let me know if you like it :-)
if (module->node_info.type != MODULE_CUSTOM) { module->node_info.type = type_by_order; switch (type_by_order) { case MODULE_IMAGE: type_by_order = MODULE_INITRD; break;
case MODULE_INITRD: type_by_order = MODULE_OTHER; break;
case MODULE_OTHER: break;
default: type_by_order = MODULE_IMAGE; /* error, reset the type */ return (grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_ARGUMENT, N_("error module type"))); } }
but I don't think we need to do this
all this is for following the http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Multiboot#Co...
(1)"Each module will be given a default compatibility property based on the order in which the modules are added." (2)Possible extension: Allow the module command to take an optional: module --type "multiboot,ramdisk" --type "multiboot,module" <...>
Understood. It is still the legibility of the code that concerns me, not its function.

There is no need for a static function to have a grub_ prefix.
for this function, it is just like the "grub_linux_boot" in linux.c I think it is OK to keep this prefix.
if not, maybe we also need to modify "grub_linux_boot" to "linux_boot"
do you agree??
I agree, but I don't think the Linux one strictly needs to change. (I would simply not call it that if I created it again.)

Why pass pointers to argc/argv?
I have merged init_module_info into here, but set_module_type (module, &argc, &argv) still use that.
Reason: the function will process all the options (just --type, for now, but maybe we will have --align, maybe), and make the following program just assume argv[0] is module binary file and the bootargs start with argv[1].
maybe we can improve it , any idea??
Well, my point is simply that it becomes quite unintuitive when something static and fixed can change. argc/argv should remain unmodified, so there is no value in passing them as pointers. The law of least surprise.
yes, just for set_module_type, we do not need to pass pointers of argc/argv. but set_module_type also help us to skip all the options. If we just pass argc/argv, we still need to skip the options using another function or code.
So maybe we can do that: (1)pass argc/argv to set_module_type (2) make a new function ,maybe call filter_options/skip_options to make argc_option_free/argv_option_free variable (3) the following code just use argc_option_free/argv_option_free, if they don't want the options string.
any idea??

Why do we use grub_module_load to load Xen? Does it need to be added to the multiboot list?
this is in grub_cmd_module. but yes ,I treat Xen kernel as a module when I load it into RAM, because at that time, all the things are just like a normal module.
we can put Xen kernel out side the named list, but do we need to ?
I am not sure - it just did not look like what I was expecting. Does Xen do anything with itself based on the information in the list?
No, just GRUB process the list, Xen just need dtb.
At the beginning, I precess Xen kernel and modules separately, but I found there is too much common code. so I decide to make a common function to load all the binaries and link them in a same list(but Xen kernel has a special name MULTIBOOT_KERNEL_NAME, so we can find it's info when we prepare the dtb info for xen kernel),
But for the function name : multiboot_module_load, I think I should call it "multiboot_binary_load" or "multiboot_file_load"
any suggestion ??

Why are we loading the Xen image as a module?
Sorry, as I said at loading time, all the things of xen image are just like a normal module.
Same as above.

Why do we have compatible and compatible_custom? Can they both be set for a single node?
Because default compatibles' string have const property. we must use const char *compatible to store it.
if someone use "--type" to define a custom compatible, we need to allocate and free memory for storing the string. the pointer of this string must be stored in char *. otherwise, we will meet problem when we free them.
But we just use compatible at the end: if the compatible of this node is custom ,I will make compatible = compatible_custom after I get memory
you may have better idea, please let me know :-)
But if it is only the custom compatible strings that are dynamic, we know that these must be freed - so we don't need a separate ponter for it.
The const problem can be worked around - but if we use only one pointer, then there are fewer special tests needed, and the code becomes more readable.
- grub_size_t compatible_size;
Is compatible not a string? Can we not just get this using grub_strlen() on "compatible"??
No, we can not do that, because compatible will be "multiboot,ramdisk\0multiboot,module" something like this, So grub_strlen() just can count a part of that string.
OK, that makes sense. But the name is (to me) a little confusing, so could it be called "compat_string_size" or "compat_prop_size"?
In general, if all variables/members called compatible<something> could be called compat_string<something> or compat_prop<something>, this would make the code more readable.
OK, I will call it compat_string<something>.

Why do we have this "extra_info" thing? I think fdt_node_info should just be merged in here.
yes, Actually, the extra_info and fdt_node_info pair is originally for the function extension. But for now, it is useless.

We're getting there - thanks for helping explain all these bits.
Great thanks for your review, that help a lot. :-)
