+You are not running xen unless you boot xen.
+Possible Xen boot paths:
+EFI boot -> grubx64.efi -> multiboot2 -> [xen.gz, vmlinuz, ramdisk]
+BIOS boot -> grub -> multiboot(2) -> [xen.gz, vmlinuz, ramdisk]
+
+EFI boot -> xen.efi
+
+##########
+grub multiboot2 preparation:
+Install grub: https://wiki.parabola.nu/index.php/GRUB
+
+At this time, some modifications are needed to 20_linux_xen.
+These are included in this package as 21_linux_xen
+
+Set the values needed for your configuration in /etc/default/grub
+Detailed here: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Simple-configuration.html
+Needed:
+GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN
+GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_XEN_REPLACE
+These values are not required but can be used; they are appended to the previous values, then this is used for the non-recovery (default) entry:
+GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT
+GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_XEN_REPLACE_DEFAULT
+
+run grub-mkconfig
+
+To boot xen as default:
+suggested: inspect and use this config to boot with. Check if the xen entry works as expected
+find the id of the xen entry and set this as DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.
+This may look something like:
+GRUB_DEFAULT="xen-gnulinux-simple-a-unique-id-from-your-grub-goes-here"
+
+run grub-mkconfig
+
+##########
+
+Direct EFI boot preperation:
+Create a xen.cfg file in the same directory as xen.efi.
+These need to be in ESP, or in a directory accessible from you EFI bootloader.
+Put settings relevant to your system into xen.cfg
+Detailed here: https://xenbits.xen.org/docs/4.9-testing/misc/efi.html
+Needed:
+kernel
+ramdisk
+Add the xen.efi file to your EFI bootloader (such as Refind).
+And / or add the xen.efi file to you EFI boot options (efibootmgr).

-2. If booting via efi, copy the example /etc/xen/efi-xen.cfg to /boot/xen.cfg
-   and edit the contents to match the settings you need.
