• This adds support for the Xen boot on ARM specification for arm64.

I have used this to PXE boot Xen on a mustang board. My (handcrafted) grub.cfg was:

    set default=0
    set timeout=5
    menuentry 'pxe multiboot xen' {
      echo "xen_hypervisor /trap/xen.efi"
      xen_hypervisor /trap/xen.efi conswitch=x watchdog console=dtuart dtuart=/soc/serial@1c020000 dom0_mem=512M,max:512M
      echo "xen_module /trap/vmlinuz"
      xen_module /trap/vmlinuz root=/dev/mapper/trap--vg-root ro  console=hvc0
      echo "xen_module /trap/initrd.gz"
      xen_module /trap/initrd.gz
      boot
    }

I didn't yet try a local boot from hdd since I'm sure it would work equivalently and there still seems to be some discussion around how the update-grub side should fit together.

Thanks!

Ian.
