I've looked into the available binary.

grub2-mkstandalone does not have the equivalent of the 

 -c grub-bootstrap.cfg
 -m memdisk.tar

options you use in your guide.

Its manpage mentions

"SOURCE"

which may be ? the config file?

It also mentions

    "Graft point syntax (E.g. /boot/grub/grub.cfg=./grub.cfg) is accepted"

I have no idea what that means, and what to do with it here in the Xen use case.

If you manage to find/share any example that 'fits' your guide, but uses this 
grub2-mkstandalone to be able to "add" the linuxefi etc commands to thge 
binary, that'd be really helpful.

In the meantime I'll keep looking for posts online.
