The function as is looks generic enough to be used by xen and ieee1275. Not sure why they went for ';' as separator, I'm sure the firmware does not require that. I dont have an EFI capable box around, someone familiar with that could make use of that function. I'm sure EFI has something like /chosen/bootargs. Futhermore what freedom would you like to hand out to those who implement the scripts? In my testing some variables such as root= and prefix= are overriden anyway.
