I am attaching both the raw patch (taken from grub-0.97-66.fc14, it 
traces back to the attachment at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486284#c7 with only spelling 
fixes) and also one that could be applied to the xen source. 
Use whichever is more convenient or you can fetch it directly from the 
Fedora source repository at
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=grub.git;a=blob_plain;f=grub-ext4-support.patch;hb=3bcdb10fc21d8e94efa70fd91d21224f13f01433
