...entry and add it to the list for chainloading. The end. Well, almost, because those manual steps are pretty easy to incorporate in the related packages. First: xen-4.4.0 simply needs to enable the target x86_64-pep by default. Without it no Xen EFI. Second: The package that creates the grub.d xen_linux snippet might be extended to move xen.efi, vmlinuz, initrd and a xen.cfg to the ESP Kernel commandline options can be taken from /proc/cmdline and/or grub?s /etc/default/grub and added to the xen.cfg automatically. The efibootmgr entry can be added automatically as well. I don?t have a patch hand...
