Hi Daniel,
I have heard you became co-maintainer of GRUB. Congratulations for that :).
We have a couple series (this series and [1]) to allow grub booting Xen on ARM that have been waiting on the GRUB ML for a while to be pushed.
Those patches have been tested and already integrated in some distributions. It would be nice to get them in GRUB upstream.
Would it be possible for you to take a look?
Regards,
