It is not (currently) possible to boot Xen via a bootloader on UEFI,
instead you must launch the xen.efi binary from the UEFI shell (or use
BIOS compat mode).
http://xenbits.xenproject.org/docs/unstable/misc/efi.html describes the
config file syntax which this method requires.

Work is ongoing to make booting from grub work in Xen upstream, but not
in time for Jessie I don't think. Hopefully for Jessie+1.
