Ok, yes, grubby can now handle extended boot parameters, but because
now that RH bundles the hypervisor with the xen kernel the whole
point is for not, because at the next kernel update the 3.2
hypervisor will be removed and the 3.1 hypervisor inserted, which
means you will need to go in by hand and modify it anyways, so
you might as well get use to it from the start.
