No need. Just use pygrub bootloader. eg instead of kernel + initrd config
options, use
bootloader='/usr/bin/pygrub'
It will automatically look in /boot for the guest disk & extract the default
kernel & initrd. If you use 'xm create -c' it'll present you the usual grub
style menu for choosing a non-default kernel.
