Hi Daniel thanks for your reply! You mentioned finding a new LZ4
library but grub2 already looks to support lz4 compressed kernels. The
issue is that they don't look to be supported under the Xen platform
with a target of x86_64.
Grub does "support" lz4

Another option is to switch the guest to Xen PV
I currently use XEN to boot PV (paravirt) virtual server instances for
