TL;DR: you should be booting /boot/xen-4.4.0.gz instead.

I'm not 100% sure about this but I don't think the xen-syms file is
bootable on x86_64, since multiboot requires the kernel to be 32-bit and
xen-syms is 64-bit. The /boot/xen-4.4.0.gz image has a little 32-bit
shim on the front which brings things up to 64-bit mode.

Really the syms file exists only so you can use it as a source of
symbols for debugging etc.

If this stanza was generated by a tool (e.g. update-grub) then I think
you should report a bug against the relevant package in your distro.

Cheers,
Ian.
