Attached is a newer version of the grub menu.  Also contains a /linuxrc
that will kexec.  Turns out that the menu code stays the same for doing
it via kexec or in dom0.

So all that's left is for someone to port kexec to Xen.  I won't get to
it for a while so hopefully someone else can jump in..

I looked at the kexec code and it looks like it will map to Xen fairly
painlessly.

Regards,
