OK, I will wait (but attaching it here).

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.w...@oracle.com>
Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2017 11:42:43 -0500
Subject: [PATCH] Use grub-file to figure out whether multiboot2 should be used
for Xen.gz
The multiboot2 is much more preferable than multiboot. Especially
if booting under EFI where multiboot does not have the functionality
to pass ImageHandler.
