.... I think the actual question should have been worded more like
"is it possible to return control to GRUB from a booted (say)
Multiboot kernel, provided nothing (say) below 1MB is touched...".
Is it possible? I'm curious myself.

IIRC someone implemented password checks in boot already, or was
working on
that, but hasn't been merged yet. I suggest you check the mailing
list
archives.
