The combination of GRUB2, EFI and UKI allows potentially more flexibility. For instance is possible to load xen.efi from a no ESP partition leaving a boot loader like GRUB2 taking care of the file loading. This however requires some changes in Xen to be less restrictive. Specifically for GRUB2 these changes allows the usage of "chainloader" command with UKI and reading xen.efi from no ESP (so no DeviceHandle set) and usage of "linux" and "initrd" commands to load separately the kernel (embedding using UKI) and initrd (using LoadFile2 protocol).
