I would like to go this way, but could you provide some help or a
little example for :
(1) How to check the new xen commands(or xen_boot module)
(2)add xen_* aliases on x86, is that like something below?

diff --git a/grub-core/loader/i386/xen.c b/grub-core/loader/i386/xen.c

   my_mod = mod;
 }

But how to deal with xen_initrd ?
Could you help me ?

Great thanks !!
