Sure. The multiboot2 specification already states that the string
must be zero terminated. It's my understanding the size field is part
of all the tags, so that a parser can find the next tag even if it
doesn't know how to parse the current one.

I've fixed this when parsing the gfx- option but not here, sorry.

I've changed the comment to:
Return a pointer to the character after the first occurrence of opt in cmd.
Thanks, Roger.
