I have several domU-s on my xen machine each uses xen-grub2 configured as kernel to start, i.e. the virtualname.cfg contains no bootloader (like pygrub) but


    kernel = /path/to/grub-x86_64-xen.bin


It would be nice if I could pass some parameters using xen's extra= or append= because each instance might have some different file system scheme. Right now I just link each grub with a separate compiled in grub.cfg.

It's especially needed for dom-U systems based on zfs or btrfs because it might have multiple snapshots with different grub.cfg

Before I filled this bug I tried to find a workaround:
