Honestly, I'm not very fascinated with this kind of patch. Because it
is a solution only for Linux.
For example, when you boot a Multiboot-compliant OS, you can also
specify a command-line argument to each modules. Then, there is no
reason why you specialize the command "kernel".
So I prefer a more generic solution. Isn't it possible to assign any
arbitrary shortcut key to any arbitrary menu entry? I might be just
dreaming, though.
