Grub does this in it's update script to prevent adding a xen + kernel

Actually, I don't see the problem - if there's no such support, then the
boot fails - plain and simple. That's like not building in or adding
into the initrd, support for your root filesystem - it is your own damn
fault. It is not the bootloader's job to sanity check whether your
kernel boots or not.
