A few more lines of context would have helped. Here is the code just after the 
patch.

             if append:
                 cfgfile.write('APPEND ')

                 if initrd:
                     cfgfile.write('initrd=/initrd ')

                 cfgfile.write('LABEL=%s '% (label))

                 cfgfile.write('%s %s\n' % (append, btype[1]))
             else:
                 cfgfile.write('APPEND %s\n' % btype[1])

The extra kernel parameters are added to btype[1] and then written out as part 
of the APPEND field.

Does that make sense?
