I don't know about memtest86, but memtest86+ installs a menu file
in /etc/grub.d, which means grub-mkconfig handles it.
% cat /etc/grub.d/39_memtest86+
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
menuentry "memtest86+ 4.20" {
linux16 /boot/memtest86plus/memtest
}
menuentry "memtest86+ 4.20 (netbsd)" {
insmod bsd
knetbsd /boot/memtest86plus/memtest.netbsd
}
