Hello, all. I'd like to have set of commands that would boot xen on all
platforms. I thought of following set:

xen_hypervisor FILE XEN_OPTIONS
xen_kernel FILE KERNEL_OPTIONS
xen_initrd INITRD INITRD INITRD
all initrds are concatenated.
xen_xsm ???

xen_ucode (and we might add more going forward). I don't see
why the multiboot mechanism (kernel plus any number of modules)
can't be used, without adding any Xen-specific directives.


Loader commands traditionally reflected underlying protocol. Using
multiboot command in this case would be confusing as this is not
multiboot.

Why would it not be multiboot?


It is multiboot on x86 but it is something different on arm64; or did I misunderstand something?
