[Bug 1908796] [NEW] 20_linux_xen is missing the same treatments of 10_linux_zfs creating unbootable Ubuntu 20.04 ZFS systems with Xen

[Doug Goldstein]

Public bug reported:

If you install Xen on your Ubuntu 20.04 system with ZFS, the system
becomes unbootable because the adjustments made by Canonical to GRUB by
providing 10_linux_zfs to override 10_linux aren't done to 20_linux_xen
as well. I'm not asking for the same level of zys integration with a Xen
system, I'm just asking for a bootable system. The following patch was
posted to the GRUB mailing list and it would be good to backport it so
that people don't experience systems that don't boot.
