I was about to suggest a patch when I realized that this probably is
currently useless on EFI. I.e. to actually chainload grub on EFI it
must reside on a partition accessible by firmware which practically
means it should be ESP.

Unless someone submits patch to make grub2 EFI core.img multiboot2
compliant with tag to skip ExitBootServices.

Does chainloading from /boot/grub actually work for you on EFI? Could
you explain your configuration in more details?
