I like the patch however few comments:
1) How are filters ordered?
2) How would I selectively disable a filter. E.g. for hexdump or when
payload expects compressed data?

+/* Registered filters list.  */
+static grub_io_filter_t grub_io_filter_list = NULL;
+
+void grub_io_register(grub_io_filter_t filter)
+{
+   filter->next = grub_io_filter_list;
+   grub_io_filter_list = filter;
+}
+

list.h can be used for this.
