It is not possible to boot EFI Xen via grub. You should instead boot it
direct from the EFI shell.

http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/efi.html has some
documentation for the config file which Xen expects when booting in this
mode.

Daniel Kiper is working with grub upstream to make a version of
multiboot which is compatible with EFI for use when booting Xen via grub
on such systems. AFAIK it is not complete.
