Works booting Xen from Fedora 8 and doesn't regress -kernel.

However, when using multiboot, the ROMs don't survive a reboot.  If you 
look at how -kernel is implemented, you'll various calls 
option_rom_reset() to cover not just the roms but also the kernel/initrd 
bits.  You'll need to do the same thing for multiboot.
