Actually I do not see much difference between using fixed path for
second stage bootloader and using fixed path for second stage
configuration from administrator PoV. In both cases you run
grub-mkconfig from domU to update *config*.

Using second stage config directly does make domU grub.cfg dependent on
dom0 grub version, so support for chainloading would be useful. Someone
needs to address comments in the last review.
