Grub2 and Xen menu entries

[Alexey Shvetsov]

Hi all!

I'm using xen on gentoo with grub2 and seems there is and issue with 
default xen detection mechanism because it also adds menu entries for 
all xen symlinks in boot and for xen-syms [see grub.cfg.unpatched] that 
shouldn't happen. Contents of my boot directory is

x201 ~ # ls -l /boot
total 30020
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  2549447 Apr  2 18:03 
System.map-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.38-gentoo-r1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  2574345 Apr  3 01:53

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1539952 Mar 26 03:34 xen-syms-4.1.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       12 Mar 26 03:34 xen.gz -> xen-4.1.0.gz

With patch for 20_linux_xen [see grub2-xen.patch] i get sane menu 
entries [see grub.cfg.patched]
