Hi Vladimir,

Sorry for late response, I turned to work on other tasks and haven't
sent the test resulted to you.

Last weekend I got a email from Julien about a xen boot problem on
arm64, I just noticed that you have simplified the xen_boot.c to drop
xen_linux, xen_initrd and xen_xsm.

By this way, we still can boot xen on arm64 by loading modules in a
specific order, and simplified the xen boot code.  I guess that is also
a good way to make  a patch for updating boot entrance in grub.cfg.

Is this still OK to update grub.cfg by this way:
(1) in xen_boot.c
  grub_env_set ("grub_xen_boot", "y");
  grub_env_export ("grub_xen_boot");

(2)in util/grub.d/20_linux_xen.in

----
Please correct me if I misunderstand something, thanks for your help,  :-)
and sorry for delay  :-(
