Make sure to only look for multiboot compatible nodes only under

NIT, I am not convince you win anything with that trick. strlen could be
optimized by the compiler (we use __builtin_strlen on Arm64).

I could use strlen if you prefer, but given that the string is known at
compile time, it should hopefully be resolved to "8" at compile time
using sizeof. What's wrong with it?

__builtin_strlen should get optimized at compile-time. Although, I don't seem to be the case when I tried. Not sure why.

Never mind then.

Actually I just tried to use __builtin_stlren rather than strlen. And
GCC is computing the size at compiler time.

Somehow, I thought arm64 was using __builtin_strlen but it seems to implement there own. Most likely we would want to use __builtin_strlen wor constant string. But that's another story.

In that case, I would prefer if you use __builtin_strlen. This is easier to understand over sizeof.

Cheers,
