AFAIK, the interface, i.e., the multiboot specification, has been stable
for a long time, and I'm not aware of any backward-incompatible change in
the specification.  Both GRUB Legacy and GRUB2 conform to this spec.

Regarding the multiboot command-line passed by GRUB2, I'm confident
it won't change.
