In my Linux distro, I'm using a single grub.cfg and the user can boot
in either BIOS or EFI mode. However, some modules are specific to EFI,
and some to BIOS it appears.

Is there a way to test if we're "running" in EFI or BIOS mode in
grub.cfg and then use that to make a decision on what modules to load?

See the $grub_platform environment variable.
Its value is 'pc' for BIOS and 'efi' for EFI.

However I have used the same config file (generated by update-grub/grub-mkconfig) with both GRUB BIOS and GRUB EFI without any visible issue.
