If a user specifies an improper grub.conf entry for Xen (does not 
specify a module line or mispells module), Xen outputs the following error:

   FATAL ERROR: Require at least one Multiboot module.

The attached patch changes this error to:

   FATAL ERROR: dom0 kernel not specified! Check bootloader configuration.

I've had a few people ask for help debugging this problem and usually 
they have no idea what a multiboot module is so the error is not helpful 
to them.
