Thanks for your report, but I don't think this problem can be solved
in GRUB, since you may pass unusual parameters with the "mem" option
to the kernel (such as "no-hlt") and so GRUB cannot interpret what you
specified in a reliable way. IMO, the Linux kernel should allow the
user to override a parameter by just appending the same option.
